Abstract

This study aims to reveal the ethnomathematics contained in the Borobudur temple and the use of the Borobudur temple for ethnomathematics-based learning in schools. In this study, photos were used as learning media. This research is a qualitative descriptive research. The subjects in this study were divided into two, namely informants who knew information about Borobudur Temple and class VII students of SMP Pangudi Mulia Srumbung, Muntilan, Magelang, Central Java who would use the TSTS type learning model in learning. The object of this study is the Borobudur Temple and the simple mathematical elements contained in the temple. Borobudur Temple and Schools near Borobudur Temple who know, understand, and are close to the daily life of the temple and the culture at Borobudur Temple were selected as research data sources. The results of the study show that ethnomathematics is good for learning in schools that are close to students' real lives.
