Description

The article describes a lesson-level design in which mathematics instructional materials are tailored to the cultural context, involving Maluku-Ambon cultures such as "pela and gandong", "masohi culture" (mutual-aid cooperation), and badati culture. Core activities follow a step-by-step sequence: understanding the contextual issue, solving the contextual problem, comparing and discussing answers in small groups and class discussion, and drawing conclusions. Example tasks use the old mosque and church in Ambon and sago-making places to frame area and perimeter problems.
