Mathematics is a basic subject that is taught from an early age, including two-dimensional material. The process of that material in mathematics tends to be developed through conventional teaching ...patterns. This makes the two-dimensional material can’t to be understood well by students and has an impact on students' low math scores. It is necessary to develop learning media in this study in the form of learning media for traditional hopscotch games based on ethnomathematics on two-dimensional geometric materials. This research is an R&D research with 4D type consisting of Define, Design, Development, and Disseminate. The instruments in this study were interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Interviews were used to analyze teacher needs, questionnaires were used in product validation by validators, asking for student responses on small and large scale tests, and assessing teacher and student activity in learning and documentation to perpetuate research. It was found that the assessment criteria for all validators obtained very good scores with details of the learning media validator having an average score of 90.97% (very valid), the learning material validator having an average score of 99.10% (very valid), the learning problem validator has an average score of 99.16% (very valid). The small-scale test with 10 students has a classical percentage of 90.1% (very good). Meanwhile, a large-scale test with a total of 20 students obtained teacher activity having a score range of 98.68% (very valid), student activity having a score range of 90.90% (very good), student responses having an average score of 94.1% (Very good). While the results of the final evaluation of students using the two-dimensional hopscotch media obtained an average value of 83.85, the classical completeness score was 90% of the 18 students who scored ≥ 70. Thus the two-dimensional hopscotch media is feasible and very effective to use.

Data was collected using participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and cultural documentation. The data analysis was carried out qualitatively and triangulated based on data sources. The research results show that there are concepts of measurement, two-dimensional shapes, three-dimensional shapes, lines, parabolas, angles, and whole-number arithmetic operations. The results of this research can be developed in learning by integrating slingshot games as a representative medium.
Abstract
The mathematical practice of the Buton people can be seen from the ethnomathematics of the Buton traditional house. This qualitative study aims to explore the differences in ...ethnomathematical characteristics between Buton traditional houses. The subjects of this study were 3 traditional leaders and 3 builders of Buton traditional houses. Data were collected through measurements, interviews, and observations of the traditional Buton house in Baubau city, the capital of the Buton kingdom, Indonesia. The credibility of the data was tested by using triangulation of sources. Data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively from Miles, Huberman, and Saldana in the form of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusions. The results of data analysis showed that the differences in the ethnomathematical characteristics of the three Buton traditional houses can be seen from the size and area of the house, the angle of the roof and stairs, the arrangement of the roof, the number of poles, the number of rooms, the model of the house, and the type, model, and the number of windows used. Teachers need to know the differences in ethnomathematical characteristics so that they can be used to increase students’ active participation in learning mathematics in class.
