Many ethnomathematical studies examine the existence of mathematics concepts in Indonesian cultural products where batik is one them. However, there a lacunae from previous that mathematical Batik Sidoluhur. Therefore, current study aims to explore Sidoluhur, such as geometry, algebra, arithmetic, and statistics. The used ethnography an approach by answering four principal questions, namely "wh...

We describe the development of a course to teach modeling and mathematical analysis skills to students of biology and to teach biology to students with strong backgrounds in mathematics, physics, or engineering. The two groups of students have different ways of learning material and often have strong negative feelings toward the area of knowledge that they find difficult. To give students a sen...

In the early 1990's many states tried to devise more robust and coherent instructional policies, in efforts to make teaching and learning more thoughtful and demanding.

Several authors (e.g. Dehaene, 1997) have proposed that mathematical concepts build upon an evolved innate number sense, which we share with many other species. However, they have left unspecified how these mathematical concepts can come into existence and how they are transmitted. Models of content biased cultural transmission (e.g. Boyer, 2001) predict that cultural traits that bear a close f...
