Abstract
Ethnomathematics is a study that observes how certain society groups understand, articulate, and use mathematical concepts or ideas in their lives. The indigenous people of Kampung Naga have a diversity of cultures, traditions, and value systems that are still well cared and maintained until to day. This cultural activity is patterned, structured, and has a form in daily life and has become a belief that is embedded in the form of local wisdom. This study aims to explore the concept of ethnomathematics that emerged and was pragmatically involved in the daily life activities of the Kampung Naga indigenous people based on a review of aspects of mathematics. This research is a qualitative study using ethnographic models.
