Learning geometry of plane and space through Timor Tengah Selatan culture

Abstract

Mathematics learning is inseparable from local culture. In the local culture in Timor Tengah Selatan regency, there are geometric shapes of plane and spaces contained in local buildings or customs. The habit of measuring gardens. The habit of making roofs and fences is a form of Geometry. This research aims to examine the geometrical shapes contained in traditional houses, LOPO. The research was conducted at Benteng None. The type of this research is qualitative research. The data collection method uses observation and interview techniques. Data were analyzed by data reduction, data presentation, data verification and conclusion. The results showed that there were several Geometry shapes of plane and space at Benteng None, Timor Tengah Selatan Regency.
