ETHNOMATHEMATICS AN ALTERNATIVE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION AT THE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Mahpudin Mahpudin, Liyana Sunanto

Abstract

Classical mathematics learning leads to a false view of students who think that mathematics is a separate field of science from their daily lives. Learning mathematics by using ethnomathematics can bring mathematical concepts closer to students' daily lives so that students can better understand and interpret the learning outcomes they get. In addition, ethnomathamatics can further develop multicultural competencies in students. Students can better know and appreciate cultural diversity.
