Ethno-mathematics examines the relationship between mathematics and culture it explores mathematical concepts, practices, and problem-solving approaches are influence by and rooted in specific cultural traditions and perspective. This study uses a qualitative approach with ethnographic approach. Data collection was conducted using unstructured interviews and collection of patterns or artifacts including photos. Results of the study describe the mathematical ideas that emerged in the weaving activity such as counting and measuring which are important for creating accurate and symmetrical designs, geometric and mathematical shape.
