Exploration of mathematical concepts in the traditional game of kites

Ethnomathematics research examining the existence of mathematical concepts in traditional games in Indonesia has been widely carried out, one of which is research related to the traditional game of kites. However, there is a gap from previous studies which only studied the existence of mathematical concepts in kite games, which were still about the area and circumference of kites. Therefore, this research aims to explore mathematical concepts in kite games in depth and comprehensively. The data collection techniques used were literature study and observation of kite objects. The mathematical concepts found are (1) the sub-concept of transformation geometry, namely reflection, (2) plane geometry such as triangles and kites, and (3) lines and angles (4) similarity and congruence in triangles (5) elevation angles (6) pythagoras (7) trigonometry concepts (8) use of integral concepts. The results of the identification and analysis are explored so that they can be used in mathematics learning at school. This article also explains that kite games have a role in cultivating character for students.
