Matematika dalam Budaya: Analisis Etnomatematika dalam Susunan Gebogan pada ritual keagamaan di Bali
In Balinese culture, there is an offering commonly known as gebogan, which is an arrangement of fruit, snacks, and flowers arranged in tiers to be offered in religious ceremonies. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with ethnographic methods, where data is obtained through documentation, observation, and literature review. The results of the study indicate that the process of arranging gebogan offerings involves the application of mathematical concepts, especially in the aspects of geometry and number patterns. For example, the arrangement of fruit on gebogan resembles a cone shape, the size of the number of fruits that demonstrates the geometric concept of dilation transformation, while the number of fruit levels generally follows a certain pattern that can be explained by the concept of ratio or number sequence. This proves that the gebogan tradition in Balinese society is not only full of religious meaning, but also contains mathematical applications. Thus, gebogan can be seen as a concrete manifestation of ethnomathematics.

Penerapan Strategi Deep Learning dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Problem Solving Siswa pada Materi Teknik Pengintegralan
In the last five years, mathematical learning in Indonesian secondary education has faced a decline in students’ problem-solving performance, particularly in calculus topics such as integration techniques. Traditional instruction often emphasizes procedural fluency without fostering deep conceptual understanding. This study aims to design and implement a deep learning-based instructional strategy to enhance students’ problem-solving abilities in integral calculus. The novelty of this research lies in five key aspects: (1) direct integration of deep learning pedagogy into integral calculus teaching; (2) emphasis on conceptual reasoning as the foundation of problem-solving rather than rote procedural drills; (3) development of a structured learning model with visualizations, peer exchange, and metacognitive reflection; (4) incorporation of problem-solving portfolios to scaffold students' reflective thinking; and (5) digital integration through GeoGebra and simulation tools to enhance students’ visual and abstract reasoning. A mixed-methods classroom-based study was conducted with 11th-grade students using pre-post tests, observation, and portfolio analysis. The results indicate significant improvement in students’ ability to select appropriate integration methods and justify their solutions, demonstrating deeper mathematical understanding. The study contributes to the growing body of knowledge in deep learning pedagogies, particularly in bridging conceptual understanding with problem-solving in advanced mathematical content.

Menggugah Kesadaran Pedagogis: Peran Guru dalam Menghindari Surface Learning dan Mendorong Deep Learning
In an era of educational transformation that demands the development of critical, creative, and reflective thinking skills, deep learning has emerged as a pivotal approach to fostering enduring conceptual understanding. However, empirical evidence reveals that many teachers still engage in surface-level teaching practices—delivering content in a linear, shallow, and curriculum-driven manner. This phenomenon results in the erosion of authentic learning, the omission of essential topics, and a stagnation in students' higher-order thinking development. This study explores the teacher’s role as a facilitator of deep learning and investigates the pedagogical, structural, and cultural barriers that perpetuate the dominance of surface teaching. Employing a phenomenological qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and classroom observations involving twelve secondary school teachers. The findings reveal that teachers' pedagogical awareness of meaningful learning remains limited, influenced by administrative pressures, inadequate professional training, and narrow perceptions of their instructional role. The study underscores the necessity of repositioning the teacher’s role from content deliverer to thinking facilitator and recommends pedagogical reinforcement strategies through critical reflection, professional collaboration, and the integration of problem-based learning models. These findings contribute to the global discourse on learning paradigm shifts and offer a transformative framework to support deep learning in 21st-century classrooms.
Proses Berpikir Kreatif Siswa dalam Memecahkan Masalah Matematika Secara Open-Ended
This study aims to examine how students develop creative thinking processes when solving open-ended mathematics problems, taking into account their varying levels of mathematical ability. The research subjects were eighth-grade students at MTsS NU Karanganyar, and the study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through open-ended tests, interviews, and observations, then analyzed based on three key indicators of creative thinking: fluency, flexibility, and originality. The findings reveal that students with high mathematical ability tend to demonstrate more complex and diverse creative thinking processes, producing innovative and effective problem-solving strategies. Students with moderate ability show adaptability in their approaches, though their originality remains limited. Meanwhile, students with lower ability often rely on a single method and exhibit constraints in exploring altemative ideas. The study concludes that leaming strategies which encourage exploration and open-minded thinking are essential to fostering students’ creative potential in tackling mathematical challenges.

Pola Siklus Nama Anak Bali: Representasi Pola Berulang dalam Kajian Matematika
A name becomes a personal identity that is first obtained by an individual at birth. The Balinese child-naming system has a unique characteristic because it is based on the order of birth, namely Wayan/Putu (first child), Made/Kadek (second child), Nyoman/Komang (third child), and Ketut (fourth child), then it repeats if the number of children exceeds four. This pattern reflects cultural orderliness that can be analyzed through a mathematical approach, particularly the concept of repeating patterns and cyclic functions in number theory. The purpose of this study is to describe the Balinese child-naming system based on birth order as part of the cultural identity of Balinese society. This research was conducted using a qualitative method with literature study as the data collection technique. The study reveals that in Balinese Hindu culture, there is a naming system known as tagel pindo (multiples of two) for the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th child, and tagel ping telon (multiples of three) for the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th child, and so on. This tagel system means returning to the initial naming cycle as at the beginning.

Eksplorasi Konsep Simetri dan Proporsi dalam Angkul-angkul dan Penjor: Studi Etnomatematika di Desa Adat Penglipuran Bali
Bali is known as one of the provinces with a unique cultural wealth that is different from other regions in Indonesia. Many traditional customs and architecture still exist today, demonstrating the uniqueness of this culture. One example is the traditional village of Penglipuran, known as the cleanest village in Indonesia, which has a spatial layout, traditional architecture, and traditional ceremonial symbols that are full of philosophical meaning. This study aims to examine how the concepts of symmetry and proportion are applied to angkul-angkul and penjor in the traditional village of Penglipuran, Bali, because they embody mathematical regularity that is not only aesthetically valuable but also contains the concept of symmetry. The methods used are descriptive qualitative with field observation techniques, visual documentation, and interviews with local traditional leaders. The results of the study show that angkul-angkul have patterns of fold symmetry and rotational symmetry that are visible in the structure of the building, as well as proportional comparisons between height, width, and decorative ornaments. Meanwhile, penjor shows proportional regularity through the length of the bamboo poles, the placement of palm leaves, and the arrangement of ornaments that form repetitive and harmonious patterns. This study found that the residents of Penglipuran Traditional Village indirectly apply mathematical concepts in their architecture and cultural traditions. This can be used as a practical context for geometry education in schools.

Etnomatematika Pada Arsitektur Rumah Adat Di Desa Panglipuran
Mathematics is one of the essential subjects expected to foster students’ critical, logical, and systematic thinking skills. However, in reality, many students still struggle because mathematics is often perceived as abstract and disconnected from daily life. This condition makes mathematics learning frequently feel less meaningful for them. One approach that can be applied to connect mathematics with real-life contexts is ethnomathematics, which integrates mathematical concepts with local culture. This study was conducted in Panglipuran Village, Bali, a traditional village well known for its orderly spatial layout and distinctive vernacular architecture. The purpose of this research is to describe the elements of ethnomathematics found in the traditional architecture of Panglipuran houses and to examine their potential as contextual teaching materials. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through observation, documentation, and interviews. The findings reveal various mathematical concepts embedded in traditional buildings, including rectangular forms in the angkul-angkul (entrance gate), triangular roofs in the bale sakenam, square walls in the paon (traditional kitchen), as well as linear spatial patterns reflecting orderliness. In addition, symmetrical motifs on carvings and body-based traditional measurement systems were also identified. Based on these findings, ethnomathematics in Panglipuran Village has the potential to be utilized as a contextual learning resource that is closely related to students’ lives, thereby making mathematics learning more accessible while simultaneously preserving local culture.

This study was motivated by the low multiplication calculation skills of third-grade students at SD Negeri 01 Legokkalong. This issue is driven by students' difficulties in memorizing multiplication, the lack of learning media, and the use of conventional teaching methods that are less engaging. To address this problem, the researcher implemented the Jarimatika method, a finger-based counting technique, combined with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of applying the Jarimatika method through PBL in improving students’ multiplication skills. This research used a true experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design and a quantitative approach. The research sample consisted of all third-grade students, divided into an experimental class (26 students) and a control class (27 students). Data collection instruments included tests (pretest and posttest) and documentation, while data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0 with t-tests and N-Gain calculations. The results showed a significant improvement in the multiplication skills of students in the experimental class compared to the control class, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The average N-Gain score of the experimental class fell into the “medium to high” category. Therefore, the Jarimatika method through Problem-Based Learning is effective in enhancing the multiplication skills of elementary school students. Future research is recommended to apply this method to other math topics and to explore its integration with other learning approaches.

Integrasi Pendekatan Deep Learning dalam Meningkatkan Pemahaman Konseptual Matematika di Sekolah Menengah Pertama
This article discusses the integration of deep learning approaches in the classroom to improve students' conceptual understanding of mathematics at the junior high school level. Conceptual understanding refers to mathematics in context, where students do not simply memorize formulas or theories, but understand concepts, operations, and relationships between mathematical concepts so that they can apply them flexibly and appropriately in various problem situations. This also encourages critical thinking and effective problem solving. In integrating deep learning, there are strategies such as the use of discussion-based learning methods, metacognitive reflection, and continuous evaluation that emphasize active student involvement and the role of teachers as facilitators who guide, motivate, and evaluate the learning process of students actively and reflectively in the classroom. This article also discusses implementation challenges and practical solutions so that teachers can optimize their role in creating a deep, meaningful, and enjoyable learning environment. Therefore, teachers play a very important role in applying the deep learning approach to improve the quality of mathematics learning and conceptual understanding of junior high school students.

Indonesia Etnomatematika dalam Penanggalan Tradisional Hindu Bali
This study attempts to analyze ethnomathematic elements in the traditional Balinese Hindu calendar, particularly the Saka and Pawukon calendars. Ethnomathematics is an approach that combines cultural elements with mathematical concepts found in everyday life. The traditional Balinese calendar system contains complex mathematical concepts such as number systems, patterns, geometry, and calculation algorithms that have been passed down from generation to generation. The methodology used in this study is qualitative, with data collection techniques through library research that emphasizes the analysis of secondary sources. Data collection was conducted through literature reviews in academic books, scientific articles, research documents, academic publications, and relevant theses or dissertations. The data analysis process was carried out descriptively qualitatively through the steps of data reduction, grouping, interpretation, description, and drawing conclusions. The findings of this study indicate that the Saka calendar system utilizes mathematical concepts in calculating the year, month, and day cycles based on astronomy. On the other hand, the Pawukon system uses the concept of modular arithmetic in determining 10 different types of weeks (wuku) with a complex algorithm to determine auspicious days (dewasa ayu). This research provides a valuable contribution to the development of mathematics education based on local culture while preserving the heritage of traditional mathematics in Indonesia.

Matematika dalam Arsitektur Desa Adat Panglipuran: Kajian Simetri dan Garis Lurus pada Jalan Utama
Mathematics plays a vital role in everyday life. It is not only present in the classroom but is also deeply embedded in cultural heritage and traditional architecture. The Panglipuran Traditional Village in Bali is a prime example of mathematical concepts, particularly symmetry and straight lines, applied in the spatial layout and architecture of the main street. This phenomenon of order and integration demonstrates the close relationship between culture and mathematical principles. This study aims to analyze the application of the concept of symmetry and the application of straight lines on the main street of the Panglipuran Traditional Village as the basis for the village's spatial order. This study uses a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, where researchers conduct field observations and visual documentation to understand the cultural meaning behind the architectural patterns formed. Through an ethnographic-ethnographic approach, the analysis includes geometric shapes as well as the social values ​​and traditions that accompany them. In conclusion, the concepts of symmetry and straight lines are applied in the Panglipuran Traditional Village to demonstrate that they not only have aesthetic value but also integrate mathematics with local wisdom. These results can be used as a reference for culture-based mathematics education and the preservation of traditional architecture.
