dc.description.abstractThis study was conducted withdraw to document the ‘Geometrical Knowledge Practiced in Tamang Community’ is an ethnographic study. The purpose of this research was to explore ethno mathematical practices of geometry in Tamang community. Through this study I tried to find out the answer of two research questions and they were: “What are the measurement systems practiced in Tamang community?” and “What are the geometrical concepts embedded in Tamang community?” To get the answer of my questions, I chose Lurpung as my research field and select the 18 respondents purposively for the study. I used observation and interview as my data collection tools and tried to capture the real practices of Tamang people to sort out mathematical practices. I found various mathematical practices in Tamang community, but due to time and other constraints, I focused on the mathematical practices related to measurement system, cultural dress, food, and artifact. I tried to see how these practices can be applied in teaching at the primary level. It also seeks how can we relate those practices in elementary school mathematics and how can we use those mathematical practices as teaching materials. It also encourages teachers and students to relate mathematics with student's culture.en_US
