The background of this study is the intention of using Batik Jlamprang motif as a context to teach mathematics in junior high school in Pekalongan. It is known that Batik Jlamprang is an original batik motif from Pekalongan. However, the use of Batik Jlamprang as a context for teaching in school is still rare. Therefore, this study aims to describe the certain mathematical concepts that can be taught by using Batik Jlamprang motif, which is the concept of the arithmetic sequence. We gathered data from the public library and electronic media, and then we observed them. Also, we visited the Museum Batik of Pekalongan to get a broader view of the data. The result of this study shows that the motif of Batik Jlamprang can be used as an introduction about arithmetic sequences but cannot be used to teach the concept of the sum of the first n th term.
