Abstract

Tasikmalaya is a Sundanese region whose nickname is: "The Pearl of East Priangan", an important role in South West Java Province. This role is very influential on the potential of the community, including in the field of culture. But along with the times, this culture is less well known by today's young generation. The purpose of this research is for the culture of the Sundanese people, especially in Tasikmalaya so that the culture is maintained. This study uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic approach derived from literature studies, field observations and interviews with a Sundanese cultural expert. The results of the study indicate that there is a mathematical language in the right time of day and night that is used by the Sundanese people in Tasikmalaya and it can be a starting point to be used as a reference in learning mathematics.
