What is it about?
The ethnomathematical practices of the Agta Tabangnon refer to the form of varying mathematical concepts that are embedded in their cultural practices. This paper presents the results of the efforts in documenting the ethnomathematics of the Agta Tabangnon in Sitio Ruras, Barangay Hiwacloy, Goa, Camarines Sur, Philippines. The Agta Tabangnon is a society that manifests a stable cultural practice that captures and addresses every facet of their daily lives. Their ethnomathematics are instances of cultural practices that are passed down from generation to generation and have had a significant impact on society.
