Abstract

The diversity of traditional dance performances in Indonesia showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. The art of Rantak dance from West Sumatra, Indonesia, is one such cultural treasure that exhibits connections with ethnomathematics. This research aims to explore the relationship between culture and mathematics education in schools by identifying aspects of the Rantak dance. The research method employed was qualitative descriptive using an ethnographic approach. Data analysis techniques follow Miles and Huberman's approach, involving data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The findings of this research reveal a significant correlation between the cultural art of Rantak dance from West Sumatra and mathematics. This connection is observed in the floor patterns that form geometric shapes such as triangles and circles. Additionally, the formation of straight lines at 180° is evident within the dance. The musical instruments accompanying the dance also feature mathematical elements, such as the cylindrical shape of the "gandang," resembling a solid geometric figure. This research underscores the cultural ties of the Rantak dance with mathematics and highlights its potential as a foundation for culturally-based mathematics education.

Abstract

Differentiated instruction is finding more grounding and impact in education around the world. As classroom diversity is anticipated and welcomed, teachers need to implement differentiation practices as part of their usual practices. However, this is known to be a more challenging task than first thought, with the challenges that teachers face being interrelated and complex. In this study, the researchers focus on twelve rural and peri-urban primary school mathematics teachers and two district officials, their identified challenges in implementing and practicing differentiated instruction. The research was qualitative in nature. Teachers participated in semi-structured individual interviews and focus group interviews. The researchers use the framework of differentiated instruction across content, processes, product, and environment to frame teachers' responses regarding their experiences with differentiation. Teachers indicated that challenges occurred in four broad areas: time, resources, overcrowded classrooms, and parental support, suggesting the need for further professional development in this area. The researchers recommend that differentiated instruction is not viewed as a special instance of teaching, but that all teaching take on a differentiated nature in keeping with teaching for excellence and inclusivity.

Abstract

This article will present some classic problems in the Ancient Greece period: the ratio of the areas of two circles problem solved by Eudoxus and the area of a parabola segment problem solved by Archimedes. These problems can be used as alternative teaching resources to give the students an early understanding of the integral concept. This article focuses on finding alternatives for teaching integral material through theorems and historical understanding without calculus knowledge. This study used a systematic literature review method to analyze the mathematical content and the historical influences on their problem-solving methods. The literature sources were indirect sources such as journals, books, and other written literature. The results show that Eudoxus' principle has been a special limit problem since the period, helping solve the ratio of the areas of two circles problem, and there has been a special case of infinite geometric series solving the area of parabolic segment problem. This article gives some recommendations for the teachers at the end of the article, on how to give a representation of the propositions discussed in this article to the students so the students can understand the connections between the prior area problem (in which the area is bounded by its line segments) and the integral concept which will be learned.

Abstract

The emergence of various problems during online learning must receive attention, especially for special needs students. For deaf children, online learning problems in mathematics lessons will become more complex due to communication barriers (hearing loss). This study aims to analyze deaf children's mathematical anxiety in learning mathematics and its correlation to the deaf children’s learning outcomes during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research was descriptive and correlational research types. The subject research was deaf children at the SMP Luar Biasa Negeri Tuna Rungu. The study sample was 24 students. Research data was collected by observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests. The data analysis used was descriptive analysis and simple regression. The results showed that deaf children's mathematical anxiety was very high. The results of the regression analysis show that mathematical anxiety has a significant effect on mathematics learning outcomes. Even though online learning during the pandemic has made the implementation of mathematics learning flexible because it can accommodate different learning styles of children, many obstacles were found in the learning process, given the limitations of deaf children, and they preferred offline learning. The implications of this research are expected to be an evaluation for teachers and deaf children to improve mathematics learning outcomes and to overcome deaf children's mathematical anxiety.

Abstract

It turns out that mathematics isn't just about the material in the classroom, but it's very close to our everyday lives. Even in the traditional games of Galasin or Gobak Sodor that we have played since childhood can be found a mathematical concept. Concepts of mathematics associated with cultural elements can attract the curiosity of learners to blend mathematical concepts with existing cultures and they can feel that math is part of their own culture. The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and effective product of teaching materials integrated with ethnomathematics of galasin games on vector material using PowerPoint for mathematics learning in Senior High School so that it can help teachers and students recognize, learn, and understand mathematics learning in the classroom. This study used a research and development method (RnD) referring to the Thiagarajan model or 4D model. This research was conducted at Bakti Idhata South Jakarta High School. Data collection included media expert validation tests, material, and elevation of student response. The result of the product development is a PowerPoint that integrates the ethnomathematics of the game with vector material. The results of the validation of the media and the material obtained an average score of "very good". So it can be concluded that the teaching material integrated with the ethnomathematics of this game is worthy to be used as a mathematical learning material.
