Sarawak Math Adventure e-magazine takes readers on an exploration of mathematical concepts through Sarawak’s heritage and culture. By highlighting local elements such as Pua Kumbu, Seroa crafts, and longhouses, this e-magazine shows how mathematics can be found in the patterns, handicrafts, and traditional architecture of Sarawak.
Through Pua Kumbu, readers are introduced to transformational geometry, such as translation, reflection, and rotation, which can be identified in motifs and weaving patterns. Seroa crafts are used to explore the concepts of ratio, rate and proportion, while the longhouses become a context for understanding patterns and sequences. Illustrations, interesting facts, visual examples, and interactive activities, including videos and quizzes accessible via QR codes, also accompany explanations of concepts.
Overall, this e-magazine shows that mathematics is not just numbers, symbols and calculations in the classroom, but is also evident in Sarawak’s art, handicrafts, architecture and cultural heritage. This approach is hoped to bring mathematics learning closer to students’ lives, while fostering an appreciation for the richness of local culture.
This e-magazine is one of the results of the Undergraduate Project (PSM) developed by Ting Su Chiong under my supervision.
