In implementing Ethnomathematics-Realistic Mathematics Education (Ethno-RME), teaching mathematics correctly is needed through learning practices in teaching and learning activities. This pedagogical activity requires guidance in the form of a curriculum. So, the teacher can determine the ethnomathematics context as a starting point in teaching mathematics using Ethno-RME. Therefore, this paper focuses on constructing an Ethno-RME curriculum to guide teachers to apply Ethno-RME in their learning process. This research was collected data from a few relevant kinds of literature to build the Ethno-RME curriculum, such as literature about the D’Ambrosio trivium curriculum, the principles, and character of RME, and literature about the implementation of RME and Ethnomathematics in school. Then, the data were reviewed, criticized, and synthesized, which was done by integrating the ideas in the literature with the new ideas to form the new concept and formula for Ethno-RME curriculum. This study comprehensively explains the goal of Ethno-RME learning, Ethno-RME competencies, and the procedure of Ethno-RME learning. Its process consists of several steps: determining, exploring, processing, and finding mathematics in the ethnomathematics context. Furthermore, this procedure continues with conducting self-development models and critical reflection as an assessment.

The ability that students must have is the ability of mathematical representation. This research aims to determine if eighth-grade students at Al-Qona'ah Islamic Junior High School improve their mathematical representation skills after using the Edpuzzle application to learn how to construct polyhedrons. It was a quantitative research design using the Quasi Experiment research method with control and experimental classes. This research's population comprised 60 students (23 males and 37 females). After conducting research, it was determined that students' mathematical representation abilities did not improve with the aid of the Edpuzzle application on the polyhedron due to the need for more learning support facilities when utilizing the Edpuzzle application. This research is supported by the t-test, which yielded t-count t-table or -29.2936 -1.67155 so that H0 is accepted. The results of the n-gain calculation yielded a total n-gain score of 0.03, or the n-gain was low, indicating was no progress in learning using the Edpuzzle application on the polyhedron. This study did not have an impact on increasing students' mathematical representation.

One goal of learning mathematics is to foster students’ critical thinking skills, but this has not been realized well in Indonesia. This study aims to produce a learning trajectory that can help students grow their critical thinking skills in studying quadrilaterals using the Burongko cake context. This study uses a design research method that comprises three stages, namely (1) preliminary design, (2) experimental design, and (3) retrospective analysis. This research was conducted at Madrasah Tsanawiyah As’adiyyah Bontouse with 25 students, nine males and 16 females of class VIII B. The results showed that this learning trajectory could improve students’ understanding of learning quadrilaterals with ease and fun because mathematical concepts are associated with students’ daily habits. The resulting learning trajectory is relevant to indicators of critical thinking skills, including interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and decision making. It was found that there was no significant difference in critical thinking skills between students who had high mathematical abilities and low mathematical abilities. Subjects with high mathematical abilities could carry out critical thinking processes to solve problems much better than subjects with low mathematical abilities. The results provide information about the use of local Bugis culture as a context of learning mathematics to improve students’ critical thinking.

Reflecting on PISA and TIMSS, international mathematical, reading, and science literacy assessments, the Indonesian government began implementing the Minimum Competency Assessment (MCA) for primary, secondary, and high school students. MCA demands the ability to solve daily life problems, one of which is geometry problems that require spatial ability. This research focused on describing spatial thinking ability used in numeracy competencies on geometry content. This research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. Thirty junior high school students in Malang, East Java, Indonesia, took the MCA preparation test and assessed their spatial thinking skills. The research was conducted in three stages: preparation, implementation, and analysis, and showed that three aspects of spatial ability, namely visualization, orientation, and relations, had not yet fully emerged. Some students cannot arrange the expected pattern. There are even students who ignore the geometric shapes requested. Students simplify drawing a hexagon with a quadrilateral, which are two different geometric objects, which leads to fatal errors. This study suggests that teachers emphasize learning mathematics that can train students' spatial thinking skills because it can lead to better mathematical understanding and performance.

Several previous types of research showed that students had obstacles in understanding the concept of linear equations. These obstacles occur because the designed learning cannot facilitate student learning trajectories, thus causing low learning outcomes. This research aimed to design and develop a learning trajectory for the linear equations in one variable material as a systematic set of activities through Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) instruction using a dynamo-powered toy car. This design is referred to as a Local Instructional Theory (LIT) in teaching the linear equations in one variable material. The research method used is the method of design research, following the stages of preliminary design, teaching experiment, and retrospective analysis. The research subjects in the teaching experiment were grade VII students of a state junior high school in Bandung City. Data were collected from various sources, namely student worksheets, teacher and student observation sheets, documentation, interview, and video recording of the learning course. This study analyzes the validity of the research through a qualitative research perspective, and reliability refers to the quality of the survey itself. The research results described the performance of the LIT-based design for linear equations in one variable learning in STEM instruction in four meetings. The research was concluded with the generation of one local instructional theory that is valid, practical, and effective in guiding a set of instructional activities to build an understanding of the linear equations in one variable material through STEM instruction using a dynamo-powered toy car.

This study is intended to result in instruction that will help pupils improve their mathematics understanding skills. The similarity of strategies in both the scientific and reciprocal teaching approaches makes it difficult to choose which approach is better. This investigation aims to investigate and explain (1) Improving pupils' mathematical understanding through comparison of scientific approaches and Reciprocal Teaching based on PAM; (2) The impact of the interaction between learning approaches with pupils' PAM on enriching pupils' mathematics understanding ability. It is a quasi-experimental research project that uses two experimental classes. The results of this study are (1) Pupils who learn through the scientific approach and pupils who learn through reciprocal teaching strategies based on PAM pupils have different mathematical thinking abilities, with the average value of improvement in the scientific approach class being more significant than the reciprocal teaching approach class; (2) Learning and pupils' PAM have no interaction effect. It means that learning in both experimental classes applies to all pupils overall in improving pupils' mathematical understanding ability. Based on the results of this study, this study implies that teachers can employ learning using a scientific approach as one of the learning options for pupils to increase their mathematical understanding abilities.

Examples and exercises in mathematics textbooks have an essential role in directing teaching and learning to achieve the objectives of the mathematics curriculum. This study examines mathematical tasks, i.e., examples and exercises, for a grade 4 elementary school mathematics textbook published by the Indonesian Government in 2018. We focus on geometry tasks and categorize them based on the dimensions of cognitive processes and knowledge of the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. Textbook research is used to achieve the objectives of this study. The validity of the data was carried out by employing peer debriefing. The findings of this study indicate that only about 30% of the geometry tasks in this mathematics textbook require high-level mathematical thinking skills. This study also shows that procedural knowledge is more dominant and becomes an orientation in presenting geometry tasks. This finding becomes less relevant to the orientation of researchers and policymakers who want the direction of mathematics education to be forming students as problem solvers.

Traditional games can be used as a context to understand mathematical concepts. Many studies on learning trajectory (LT), which are set in the context of traditional games, have been carried out. However, no study focuses on using the context of the traditional kempreng game to facilitate primary students in understanding integer addition and subtraction. This research aims to design an LT through traditional game kempreng to help construct students' understanding and mathematical concepts through various activities that have been developed. This study uses design research with stages, namely preliminary design, teaching experiment, and retrospective analysis. This study produces LT which consists of five activities, namely: consisting of calculating addition points through the kempreng context, calculating subtraction (difference) through the kempreng context, performing additional operations on the “same” kempreng card, performing subtraction operations on “different” kempreng, and determining the results of addition or subtraction operations of number cards with the opposing group. In this study, LT set in the traditional game of kempreng can be used as a context in preparing learning designs that could stimulate students thinking in understanding the mathematical concepts of integer addition and subtraction. The impact of the research design also occurs on teachers. Learning becomes a student center, the teacher as a facilitator. The results of this study can have implications as one of the considerations for using contexts with real and cultural backgrounds to reduce or build a meaningful understanding of the concept of integer addition and subtraction for primary students.
