Abstract

Ethno-mathematics or mathematics carried by ethnics in a particular area is a nation treasure that can build future Indonesian educational characters. This article describes how angler in Indonesia uses mathematics in their daily activities and its potential to be context in designing learning activities for school mathematics. Uses interviews, video typing, and observing, we manage our work, took a part in fishing with anglers from Demak and Kendal, Central Java, Indonesia. There three kind of activities carried by anglers we identified uses mathematics. First, the way anglers navigate their position without any navigation tools, or even compass show that how well they performed their spatial ability. Second, the way they spreads fishing net shows how anglers masters certain geometrical shape in a certain situation. Third, the way anglers drive the boat heading for wave or follow fishing tract show how they understand angle. Two out of three will be good context in learning mathematics based on good context criteria; anglers navigation, and angle correction.
