Abstract

Tulungagungan Shibori cloth craft is one of the cultural heritages that is still preserved by the people of “Friends of UKM Tulungagung”. In the manufacture of Shibori Tulungagungan cloth, many interesting and varied geometric and abstract motifs are used. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between mathematics and culture, especially in the Tulungagungan Shibori cloth motif using the Shibori Itajime technique. This study uses an ethnographic approach which is an empirical and theoretical approach, which aims to obtain a comprehensive picture and analysis of culture based on field research. The results showed that there were 6 basic mathematical activities, namely: searching, counting, measuring, designing, playing, explaining. Mathematical concepts arising from Tulungagungan shibori cloth production activities can be used to introduce and understand mathematical concepts through local culture.
