Abstract:
Ethnomathematics is mathematics that grows and develops in a society that is in accordance with the local culture. It can be used as a center of the learning process and teaching method, especially mathematics learning. One of the ethnomathematics that can be applied by teachers is the process of sardines canning in CV. Pasific Muncar Banyuwangi. The objective of this study is to explore ethnomathematics and make test kit on ethnomathematics in the process of sardines canning in CV. Pasific Harvest Muncar Banyuwangi. The research method used is descriptive qualitative cultural approach. The subject of this research is the company production manager of CV. Pacific Harvest. The results of this study revealed that ethnomathemics in the process of sardines canning in CV. Pacific Harvest was found in the form of sardine cans specifically cuboid and tube. Ethnomathematics related to mathematical concepts was found when determining the ratio of material composition, namely 50% fish and 50% seasonings and water. Ethnomathematics in counting activities was there when determining the diameter of a can. The mathematical model used was by making a can code to find out the name of the can and the net weight of the can. After exploring ethnomathematics, a mathematics test kit was made with the topic of ethnomathematics in the process of sardines canning in CV. Pasific Harvest Muncar, Banyuwangi.
