ETHNOMATHEMATICS ON BUYING AND SELLING TRANSACTIONS IN THE TRADITIONAL MARKET IN BENGKULU CITY

Betti Dian Wahyuni, Mela Aziza

Abstract

This research aims to identify and describe ethnomathematics in buying and selling transaction activities carried out by traders in traditional markets in Bengkulu City based on Bishop's mathematical fundamental activity theory. This research is exploratory research using a qualitative approach. The research subjects were selected purposively, including rice, bean, egg, and vegetable traders. The research instruments include observation sheets, documentation, and interviews. The data analysis technique goes through three stages of triangulation: reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions/verification. The results of this research concluded that there were six mathematical activities, including (1) Counting when pronouncing basic numbers using the local language (Bengkulu), while counting activities were found to involve arithmetic operations, namely, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division; (2) Locating in the zoning system by dividing the market into two parts, namely the wet market and the dry market which are allocated separately; (3) Measuring the dosing system, measurement and accuracy, sorting, comparing and estimating based on the quality, type and size of goods; (4) Designing the patterns created by traders when designing/arranging/displaying their merchandise, and the shape of the trading room; (5) Playing in implementing sales strategies; and (6) Explaining the trader's activities when providing a description/explanation of the goods they sells.
