Abstract

Motivated by the low motivation to learn mathematics which results in low achievement of basic competencies and the quality of student understanding in learning mathematics, so that learning innovations are needed according to student needs. The ethnomathematics approach was chosen to stimulate student’s affectivity in learning mathematics, by involving culture as local wisdom raised to prove the correlation between mathematics and cultural life that students can find in the cultural wealth in the student’s environment. The media used is the cacarakan script to calculate pair matches that are still used as a local community belief. The results of the study concluded that (1) there are various cultural potentials as local wisdom owned by Cupunagara Village, one of which is the count elmu palak regarding the calculation of pair compatibility using cacarakan script,´ which has relevance to mathematics, especially in class VII number material; (2) students are able to represent mathematics in a cultural context through cacarakan script on number material; (3) students are able to solve problems related to integer arithmetic operations; (4) learning mathematics using a local wisdom-based ethnomathematics approach is proven to affect student’s motivation to learn mathematics for the better.
