Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze in depth the mathematical values contained in the buna woven fabric. The method used is a qualitative method with an ethnographic design because it will explain one of the cultural artifacts of the people of NTT, in this case the buna woven fabric. The results obtained are the motifs on the buna woven cloth that analyzed containing geometric and arithmetic concepts. From the analyzed quadrilateral characteristics, the quadrilateral found in the buna woven fabric is a rhombus. In addition, values or mathematical concepts on woven fabrics that can be taught to junior high school students include finding the formula for the area and perimeter of a rhombus using a triangle approach; calculate the area and circumference of a rhombus; arithmetic and geometric sequences and calculating the number of rhombic models on buna woven fabrics
