Abstract

Rumah gadang is a Minangkabau traditional house. Rumah gadang is a stage house where the house body is enlarged upward, like a ship. While the roof resembles a buffalo horn called gonjong. This paper describes the mathematics that is embedded in the design of rumah gadang. Exploration is done through observation in the rumah gadang, interviews with tukang tuo, adat leaders and literature studies. The results show that in rumah gadang design there are concepts of numbers, measurements and geometry. The results of this exploration will be able to help teachers to use the context of rumah gadang design in learning mathematics.
