Mathematics learning in elementary schools is often perceived by students as
abstract and disconnected from everyday life. This condition results in low
conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills, particularly in the topic of
weight unit conversion. This article aims to examine the exploration of
ethnomathematics in fish weighing activities as a meaningful learning context to
strengthen the concept of weight unit conversion (kilograms, quintals, and tons) and
train the problem-solving skills of sixth-grade elementary school students. The
methods used are literature study and conceptual study of ethnomathematics
practices in fish buying and selling activities in traditional markets and fishing ports.
The results of the study indicate that fish weighing activities involving contextual
weight units can connect mathematical concepts with students' real-life
experiences, improve conceptual understanding, and train mathematical problem
solving skills. Thus, the integration of ethnomathematics with fish weighing has the
potential to be an effective contextual learning approach for weight unit conversion
material in elementary schools
