Abstract

The culture around students can be used to understand mathematical concepts even though there is not much linking the culture in students in the learning process. This study aims to discover the mathematical concepts in traveling trading activities on the Musi River. The research subject is a traveling merchant who trades Palembang local food using traditional boats on the Musi River. The research used is qualitative with an ethnographic approach. This study’s data collection techniques are literature study, observation, interviews, and documentation. This research concludes that traveling trading on the Musi River can indirectly introduce some mathematical concepts, such as solid figure (sphere, cube), plane figure (rectangle), comparisons, social arithmetic, and system of linear equations. This research has implications for students to learn to understand mathematical concepts through the cultural values of traveling around the Musi River.
