Resumo

This descriptive-interpretive design documented Ethnomathematics pertaining to rice cultivation practices in Sablan, Benguet. Interviews were conducted among the identified key informants of the indigenous people of Sablan, Benguet, identified through purposive sampling. Results showed that accounting for rice harvest involved simple counting while ciphering included posting purong in rice fields. Estimation in measuring their rice harvest was documented as a common practice. Sequential steps in cultivation include seedling preparation, land preparation, transplanting, pest control, harvesting, and drying. Harvests were categorized by variety and harvest time. Additionally, beliefs related to rice cultivation were also observed by the people of Sablan. They predict the weather based on the arrival of specific birds and the color of rice grains. Further, their planting method exhibited mathematical patterns and the sidewalls of their alang or rice granary displayed modeling patterns. Their rice cultivation practices showed the rich culture of the people which is worth documenting. Other indigenous practices may be documented to preserve the local practices. The identified ethnomathematics on rice cultivation practices may be incorporated into teaching math concepts. The community was also encouraged to participate in teaching the practices to the younger generations for cultural preservation and promotion.
