Abstract :

Purpose: This study aims to explore the application of ethnomathematics concepts to the ornaments of the Selaso Jatuh Kembar Malay traditional house, emphasizing the mathematical principles of geometric transformations and patterns. The study highlights the cultural and mathematical significance of these ornaments, providing insights into the integration of mathematics and culture.

Patients and Methods: A qualitative research approach with an ethnographic method was employed. Data collection involved direct observations, semi-structured interviews with cultural experts, and documentation of ornamental patterns. Analytical techniques focused on identifying geometric transformations, including reflection, translation, rotation, and dilation, as well as frieze patterns in the traditional house ornaments.

Results: The findings reveal that the ornaments of the Selaso Jatuh Kembar Malay traditional house encompass diverse geometric transformations and symbolic meanings. These ornaments include various motifs such as clouds, plants, and animals, each showcasing mathematical elements like symmetry and pattern repetition. Notably, several ornaments exhibit frieze patterns, such as patterns F1, F3, and F7, reflecting continuous repetition and symmetry principles.

Conclusion: The study concludes that the Selaso Jatuh Kembar traditional house ornaments exemplify a rich integration of mathematical concepts and cultural heritage. These findings underscore the importance of preserving traditional knowledge while enriching the understanding of ethnomathematics as a bridge between mathematics and cultural traditions.
