Abstract


Ethnomathematics has also been shown to have a positive impact on students' academic development, including improved creative thinking, understanding of geometry, and algebraic skills. However, there are challenges in implementing ethnomathematics in Sundanese culture, and more research is needed to understand these difficulties and potential solutions. This literature review aims to examine the current state of research on Sundanese ethnomathematics, including definitions and characteristics of ethnomathematics used in previous studies, as well as methodological challenges and potential applications. The review is based on a systematic search of leading mathematics education journals. This research explores the use of Sundanese ethnomathematics in education and cultural understanding, utilizing a variety of research objectives and methods, including didactic design analysis, instructional design research, and ethnographic field study. The results indicate that incorporating cultural context and traditional practices, such as the use of religious symbols and specialized teaching materials, can improve students' understanding and learning of mathematics. It is suggested that educators consider incorporating elements of Sundanese ethnomathematics into their teaching practices and that further research be conducted on the impact of ethnomathematics on students' academic, social, and physical development, as well as the effectiveness of different teaching methods in various cultural settings.
