Mathematics learning requires real situations that are often encountered by students. Students' diverse backgrounds and the presence of local wisdom from the surrounding community can actually be utilized for mathematics learning. Proposed an ethnomathematics-based curriculum to be implemented in mathematics learning [1]. The curriculum contains literacy, matheracy, and technocracy. In this article, researchers explain how teachers can utilize ethnic culture and traditions in the region for use in mathematics learning. This research, conducted in Wonolelo Village, where the village annually organizes Ki Ageng Wonolelo Traditional Ceremony. Researchers tried to link some tools used during the ceremony with school math. The hope is to add literacy to the objects around students that can be tied to school math. The objective is for mathematics learning to be meaningful and for the local culture not to be forgotten by future generations.

This study investigates the responses of Indonesian and Spanish students to the use of interactive mathematics comics in their education. The research aims to see the practicality of these comics on student engagement, comprehension, and retention of mathematical concepts across different cultural contexts. Using a quantitative approach, the study analyzes data through normality and homogeneity tests to ensure the reliability and consistency of responses. Results show that Indonesian and Spanish students respond positively to interactive mathematics comics, demonstrating increased motivation and interest. However, cultural differences significantly influence the perception of specific indicators such as content quality, technical quality, and language usage. Indonesian students, who are generally accustomed to traditional teaching methods, found the comics engaging and helpful in understanding complex concepts. On the other hand, Spanish students, who are more familiar with interactive and student-centered learning, showed mixed responses depending on their educational experiences and expectations. Despite these differences, both groups recognized the value of interactive comics as a supplementary educational tool. Future research could explore a larger and more diverse sample size, including longitudinal studies to assess the sustained impact of such tools and further investigate the integration of other multimedia elements like augmented reality to enhance interactivity. From these results, the Mathematics Comic on Cartesian coordinates material developed is practical and can be used in mathematics learning. This is because the Mathematics Comic on Cartesian coordinates material received a good response, and students hope that learning mathematics will be more fun and effective.

This study explores the hidden mathematical concept of the activities of the rice farmers in Panggang Village. The research method is qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. The research location is in Panggang Hamlet, Bantul. The location was chosen because the area is an agricultural area that has been regulated by the Government. The research subjects were the Dukuh and Panggang Dusun farmers and were selected purposively. Agricultural activities contain mathematical concepts that arise when using rice seeds, nursery preparation, fertilizing, and tandur. This study's findings are that there are mathematical concepts that exist in agricultural activities, including geometry and comparisons. The results of the research can be used as teaching materials to facilitate learning for students.Keywords: ethnomathematics, geometry, comparison, contextual, realistic mathematics education

Often teachers provided examples and exercised to students with regard to comparative problems consisting of one quantity. In this study, the researchers gave the problem of comparison with the two quantities mixed. It was necessary to have a good understanding to solve this problem. This study aimed to determine whether students understand the comparison in depth and be able to solve the problem of non-routine comparison. This study used qualitative explorative methods, with researchers conducting in-depth interviews on subjects to explore the thinking process when solving comparative problems. The subject of this study was three students selected by purposive sampling of 120 students. From this research, researchers found there were three subjects with different characteristics, namely: subject 1, he did the first and second questions with methods of elimination and substitution (non-comparison); subject 2, he did the first question with the concept of comparison although the answer was wrong, and did the second question with the method of elimination and substitution (non-comparison); and subject 3, he did both questions with the concept of comparison. In the first question, he did wrong because he was unable to understand the problem, while on the second he did correctly. From the characteristics of the answers, the researchers divided into 3 groups based on thinking process, namely: blind-proportion, partial-proportion, and proportion thinking.
