Abstract


Traditional games are played in a simple way. Some types of games require tools, while others do not. Cultural values are contained in these traditional games, which originated from our ancestors. It is expected that the incorporation of the traditional game of scrap tire racing with mathematics learning will increase participants' interest in traditional games and mathematics. An approach known as "ethnomathematics" involves incorporating mathematical concepts into local culture. Mathematics is often perceived as a difficult subject by students, resulting in students' low interest in math materials. As this research focuses on a cultural phenomenon in Indonesia relating to the traditional old tire racing game, using a qualitative descriptive method and ethnographic approach. To help preserve the traditional game, this research aims to reveal the mathematical aspects contained in the traditional game. The results showed that mathematical concepts related to flat shapes, spatial shapes, track length, speed, distance, and time were used in the old tire racing game. The 56 cm diameter scrap tire reaches the finish line first because it has a larger circumference of 176 cm and the distance traveled each lap is longer than the 48 cm and 38 cm diameter scrap tires.
