ABSTRACT
This article discusses Cigugur indigenous communities’ custom in carrying out calculation
practices to determine the best time to start house construction activities. The realist ethnography
approach was used in this study through exploratory research. The ethnomathematics design
adopted four elements: generic questions, initial answers, critical constructs, and specific activities.
Ethnomodelling was used to translate cultural mathematics ideas into academic mathematics
through ethical, emic, and dialogical approaches. Based on ethnomathematics, the community
practices the dimensions of necessary universal mathematical activities, such as counting, placing,
and explaining. Based on ethnomodeling, mathematical ideas and practices carried out are
relevant to the concepts of enumeration, integer operations, sets, relations, congruence, and
modulo. The study results recommend the importance of ethnomodelling as a methodological
approach to ethnomathematics to create and develop didactical situations, especially in
developing a new lesson.
