This research aims to explore the activities of fishermen on the coast of Sungai Buntu Beach, Karawang, that contain mathematical concepts, and to map them into the learning outcomes of phases A–C at the primary school level. A qualitative approach with an ethnographic design was used, through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were then analysed with data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, and their validity was tested through triangulation. The results show that fish trading activities contain number concepts; calculating the catch in a basket reflects algebra through variables and simple equations; the salting and weighing of fish emphasise measurement, proportionality, and capacity; the shapes of boats, nets, baskets, drying racks, and fish crates demonstrate the application of geometric concepts in 2D and 3D shapes; and seasonal catch patterns, trading transactions, and the salting of dried fish provide a context for data analysis and probability. These findings affirm that the cultural practices of fishermen in the North Karawang coastal area, particularly those in Sungai Buntu Beach can be used as an authentic source for contextual, relevant, and meaningful mathematics learning, and are also applicable to other coastal regions with similar cultural characteristics such as the North Coast of West Java, supporting the development of local culture-based teaching materials to enhance students' motivation, understanding, and learning outcomes.

This study aims to improve students' interest and learning outcomes in short story material through the application of contextual learning models in class XI DKV SMK Muhammadiyah 4 Kalisat. The method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) which consists of three cycles with stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The results of the study showed that the application of contextual learning significantly increased student engagement, created a more relevant learning experience, and strengthened their literacy skills. The success of this learning was also influenced by the active role of the teacher as a facilitator who helped students connect the material to real life. In the first cycle, student engagement was still low because the methods used were less interesting and tended to be monotonous. However, in the second cycle, there was an increase in participation even though there were still some obstacles in implementing the learning strategies that had been applied. The third cycle showed more optimal results, with increased motivation, understanding, and students' ability to analyze and appreciate short stories in more depth. The application of a contextual approach not only has a positive impact on student learning outcomes, but also provides a more meaningful and enjoyable learning experience. This finding contributes to the development of literature learning strategies in vocational education, especially in linking materials to the industrial world and students' daily lives. Thus, innovation in learning methods is needed to create a more effective, relevant, and appropriate learning process for students in the modern era.
