Ethnomathematical Analysis of Wapauwe Kaitetu Old Mosque Building: Between Myth and Science

This study aims to explore public perception of the existence Wapauwe Kaitetu mosque which involves mathematical concepts in building construction. Therefore, this research method is qualitative with a descriptive-exploratory approach. was carried out village, Central Maluku two subjects, namely community leaders and guards who knew mosque. The instruments used are interview guidelines observation sheets. objects are: quadrilateral (square trapezium); elliptical; triangle; circle; spaces (cubes, trapezoidal prisms, pyramids tubes); compass; deep congruences. Furthermore, myth (using telepathy as means communication other dimensional societies) science (building construction using good quality wooden frames close connecting wood distances resulting buildings becoming sturdy strong). it suggested that further researchers can examine ethnomathematical implementation mathematics learning process. Keywords: ethnomathematics, construction, mosque, science. Abstrak: Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan di Indonesia terus berkembang pesat. Salah satunya dibuktikan dengan adanya integrasi melalui kearifan lokal pada masing-masing yang dipelajari. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dan mengidentifikasi potensi Lokal Karapan Sapi Madura sebagai bahan ajar materi Hukum Newton. menggunakan jenis deskriptif kualitatif studi analitik.
