Abstract


Abstract: This research examines the application of ethnomathematics by utilizing star anise spice in geometry learning for junior high school (SMP) students. Mata lawang, which is one of the native spices from Indonesia, offers a shape and structure that is rich in geometric aspects so that it can be used as an interesting and relevant learning tool. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach, collecting data through observation, interviews, and document analysis. Participants in this study consisted of grade VIII junior high school students and mathematics teachers. The findings of this study show that the integration of star anise, in geometry learning, can improve students' understanding of geometric concepts such as symmetry, pattern, and volume. In addition, students show a higher level of enthusiasm and participate more actively in learning when material is taught by relating to the local culture. This study concludes that the application of ethnomathematics in teaching geometry enriches students' learning experience, strengthens cultural identity, and enhances their enthusiasm for learning. It is hoped that the results of this research can contribute to developing more innovative and contextual mathematics education methods in schools.
