Indonesia is rich in culture. The diverse traditional local cultures provide materials to be explored and linked to mathematics learning. The ethnomathematics is a scientific approach that connects ...mathematics and culture. This study aims to provide an overview and rationalization of the importance of the role of ethnomathematics in multicultural education. As a result, it can be studied because culture is introduced not only through the social sciences but also through the exact sciences via mathematics. The research method in this study is qualitative, using the systematic mapping study method or systematic analysis study to describe the research mapping on ethnomathematics that has been studied. The following are the findings of the research: (1) Various traditional local cultural media, such as traditional houses, woven products, batik, and others, are the media that are widely studied using ethnographic and descriptive qualitative research. The research subjects were cultural experts or descendants of royal lineages. Very little research provides examples of the use of materials in the classroom and according to their measurement capacity. (2) The ethnomathematics plays a role in a multicultural education by exploring various cultures so that students can get to know the multiculturalism of Indonesian nation. The meaningfulness of the mathematics learning and culture is used to make the learning effective in multicultural classrooms.

The Merdeka Curriculum allows educators to develop teaching materials adapted ...to the characteristics of each region. This study aims to establish a worksheet with ethnomathematics exploration of the ornaments of the Jingah River Jami Mosque. The research method used is the Plomp model development method which consists of four stages, namely: (1) initial investigation; (2) designs; (3) construction; and (4) test, evaluation, and revision—methods of data collection, namely the method of observation, interviews, and questionnaires. The data analysis technique used is descriptive qualitative and descriptive quantitative. The research subjects included experts as validators, and 7th-grade junior high school students on a limited basis. The results of the validator's assessment were 4,77, the results of the restricted group trials were 80,00%. So the ethnomathematics-based student worksheets for the ornament of the Jingah River Jami mosque are obtained, which are valid, and practical.
Culture is closely related to the lives of Indonesian people, in the current era of technological sophistication, culture is one of the means to study science, one of which is ethnomathematics. ...Ethnomathematics is a branch of mathematics that uses culture as a means to deepen the knowledge and concepts of mathematics education through the role of culture in society. This study focuses on the ethnomathematical exploration of the “ompangan” tradition of the Jember Madura community in Kalisat with the aim of describing ethnomathematics in the ompangan tradition of the community and formulating the concept of mathematical calculations. This research took place at Jalan Diponegoro Dusun Krajan 1 RT/RW 012/004 Glagahwero Kalisat. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach, with data collection techniques through interviews and observations. The results showed that the ompangan culture contained mathematical concepts in it that linked culture to the mathematical counting process, namely the concept of worth comparison and a system of linear equations used to determine the number of goods with the same price or value.
Minimum Competency Assessment or Asesmen Kompetensi Minimum (AKM) is used as a national assessment by involving several contexts; one of them is social culture. However, social cultural-based AKM ...problems, including ethnomathematics, are still limited. Therefore, efforts that can be carried out is designing ethnomathematics-based AKM problems related to farmers’ activities. This study aimed to obtain problems for ethnomathematics-based AKM problems about farmer activities in Montasik, Aceh Besar Regency, Indonesia. This research is a developmental research that was carried out through several stages, namely the preliminary, self-evaluation, prototyping, and the field test stages. In this case, the research subjects involved were 33 students of grade 8 at a junior high school in Montasik. The data analysis technique used was the Aiken's V formula and the product moment correlation.
