Abstract
This research aims to describe muatan lokal , a subject discussing local culture content in Indonesia, and to analyze mathematics learning process at schools in Aceh Province based on Bishop's universal mathematical activities. The collection and analysis of the data used a qualitative approach. Besides the qualitative approach, we also used an ethnomathematical approach to make a rigorous description of muatan lokal and its existence in the mathematics learning process at the schools. This research found that the current implementation of muatan lokal in Aceh was still in progress of development. In fact, however, many schools have already implemented the subject muatan lokal based on the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture’s regulation. Furthermore, we could identify the existence of mathematics in the teaching material of muatan lokal subject. However, the connection between both muatan lokal and mathematics as subjects at school is too weak for the VII grade of junior high schools in Aceh.
Highlights
It is always critical to developing the national identity as a citizen of Indonesia, a country which has diversified ethnic groups and cultures, as well as affection and pride related to cultural identity at the same time
It can be seen from the Article 4 of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation number 79/2014 which states that the term of muatan lokal itself could be integrated with others subject such as cultural art, craft, and physical education (MoEC, 2014)

Summary
It is always critical to developing the national identity as a citizen of Indonesia, a country which has diversified ethnic groups and cultures, as well as affection and pride related to cultural identity at the same time. There is a unique subject or material that has been transformed rapidly as the way to create awareness towards cultural values It is called muatan lokal (Musanna, 2009). They are (1) graduate competence standard, (2) content standard, (3) learning process standard, and (4) assessment standard This condition impacts to the muatan lokal and the mathematics curriculum in Indonesia including Aceh Province. Regarding integrated learning between muatan lokal and mathematics, the tendency to ignore muatan lokal and mathematics to be incorporated together already happen in Indonesia including Aceh It can be seen from the Article 4 of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture Regulation number 79/2014 which states that the term of muatan lokal itself could be integrated with others subject such as cultural art, craft, and physical education (MoEC, 2014).
