Abstract

Mathematics learning can be meaningful if presented in the context of real-life problems so that students can understand its applications. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is a learning approach that emphasizes the use of realistic contexts and situations to teach mathematical concepts and problem-solving skills. The purpose of this study is to introduce the culture of the Joglo Traditional House to students to teach the concept of the surface area of geometric shapes with RME. The subjects of the study are 9 students in grade 10 in Yogyakarta. Data collection techniques will be carried out through observation, written tests, and interviews. The research method is design research with qualitative data analysis. Based on the analysis, we can see six fundamental mathematical activities according to Bishop that provide a comprehensive framework for mathematics education in the cultural context of the Joglo Traditional House, namely: counting, measuring, locating, designing, playing, and explaining. The use of the Joglo Traditional House as a context can help students understand the concept of the surface area of geometric shapes. The implication of this research is to understand the process of constructing students’ understanding through RME and to provide a reference for teachers to teach mathematics according to context.
