Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of local cultural values, particularly those of the Malay, Karo, and Simalungun (Mekarsi) cultures, into mathematics learning through an ethnomathematics approach. Using a qualitative descriptive literature review method, this research examines various sources related to the application of local cultural values in mathematics education. The findings indicate that incorporating local culture, such as batik motifs, weaving patterns, traditional houses, and traditional games, makes mathematics learning more meaningful, contextual, and relevant for students. In addition to enhancing students' understanding of mathematical concepts, this approach also strengthens their cultural identity and character. Values such as respect, empathy, cooperation, integrity, harmony, mutual assistance, honesty, and responsibility can be internalized through culturally-based mathematics learning. The study recommends that educators develop learning strategies that integrate cultural values as rich and relevant learning resources within the Merdeka Belajar curriculum.
