Abstract

The purpose of the research was to explore forms of ethnomathematics on the Chinese wall and analyze their relationship with geometrical concepts. The study was conducted in 4-13 Mei 2018. The research location was the Chinese wall. Data collection was done by observation. Data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that various forms of building geometry in the Chinese wall could identify various geometrical structures: flat, like squares, rectangles or circles, as well as various forms of building space, such as beams and cubes, and building spaces such as tubes. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
