Abstract

This study aims to explore the ethnomathematics concept contained in the traditional musical instrument Serunai Bengkulu with a focus on geometric and symmetrical elements. Serunai as a local cultural heritage has a physical form that reflects mathematical concepts, such as a cylinder, a truncated cone, and a circle. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with ethnographic methods, data were collected through direct observation, interviews with cultural experts, and visual documentation. The results show that parts of the Serunai such as the funnel, stem, and ornaments have characteristics of vertical and rotational symmetry, as well as geometric shapes that are in accordance with mathematics learning materials at the Junior High School (SMP) level. Integrating local cultural elements into mathematics learning can provide a contextual learning experience, increase student interest, and bring mathematics closer to everyday life. These finding support the importance of implementing ethnomathematics in education, particularly in efforts to preserve local culture and strengthen the understanding of mathematical concepts more meaningfully. This study also recommends the use of cultural objects such as musical instruments. traditional in learning as a contextual medium to introduce the concepts of geometry and symmetry to students.
