Abstract

The purpose of this research was to find out: (1) ethnomatematics at Undagi Bali in Penglipuran Village; and (2) how Undagi Bali knows and gets knowledge about Undagi Bali ethnomatematics in Penglipuran Village. This research is a qualitative research using exploratory method, with data collection methods using literature study, observation, and interviews. The subjects of this research are people who work as Undagi traditional Balinese buildings in Penglipuran. The results of the exploration show that there are several ethnomatics in Undagi Bali, namely body measurements such as “lengkat, depa, tampak, ahasta, amusti”, as well as making house roof trusses, building house foundations, and making “lulu/sludge”. The ethnomatematics obtained are related to concepts in formal mathematics, such as counting, measuring, and counting activities. The process of the Undagi gaining knowledge is by learning to imitate the more experienced Undagi, learning basic concepts through literature, and learning from their own experiences.
