Abstract


Ethnomathematics is a field of study that studies the relationship between mathematics and the culture, traditions and social context of a group or society. The aim of this research is to find out what mathematical elements are found in Makassar Ethnic woven handicrafts. The research method used is a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach. The data collection techniques used were interviews and literature reviews. In this research, the data analysis technique used is the triangulation technique which consists of data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions or verification. Some of the Makassar ethnic woven handicrafts, namely Tappere which has mathematical elements, namely the concept of geometry and the concept of flat shapes, Palo Dotta which has the shape of a cone without a base and a flat triangular shape, Bola Takraw which has the shape of a ball, Lobo which has the shape of a circle and half circle, and Pattapi which has shape like a circle. Therefore, it can be concluded that mathematical concepts can be found in various life contexts, one of which is woven handicrafts
