Abstract

Banjarese elders who had never attended either formal or non-formal schools have implemented relatively unique arithmetic operation. The arithmetic operation does not use calculators nor writing tools but can produce a quick and precise calculation. This kind of arithmetic operation is commonly used in everyday life and well-known as hitung bini. This study aimed to describe hitung bini as one of ethno-mathematics found in Banjarese cultures then analyze it from mathematics viewpoints. This study used explorative method with qualitative approach. The data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. The findings of the study obtained that hitung bini operation actually conforms to formal arithmetic procedures in math which includes place value rules and basic arithmetic operation properties such as commutative, associative, distributive, identity and inverse.
