Resumo
This article discusses ethnomathematical studies and ethnomodeling approaches and their
feasibility in revitalizing mathematics learning based on cultural contexts. The study was
carried out by exploring forms of ethnomathematics, then proceeded to ethnomodelling
to communicate the understanding of the people that emerged based on mathematical
ideas and practices in pancaniti buildings. In this study, phenomenological and
ethnomethodological approaches are used to provide a broader and sharper meaning.
Meanwhile, the data were collected from five respondents through participant observation
and in-depth interviews. Based on the study of ethnomathematics, they practice the six
basic dimensions of universal mathematics, namely calculating, finding, measuring,
designing, and explaining. Meanwhile, ethnomodelling studies show the use of the
elemental approach and the definition of N-gon, especially the hexadecagon as a way to
construct a circular roof. The approach used by the community can be followed up to
revitalize more progressive mathematics learning, especially in teaching the concept of
geometry.
