Abstract
This study aims to identify Ethnomathematics in the Mbaru Niang traditional house of the Wae Rebo community, describe related mathematical concepts, and develop learning tools and learning trajectories for mathematical concepts found in the culture of the Mbaru Niang traditional house. The research method used is descriptive qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. The researchers were the main instrument, and data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation—the validity of the data using source triangulation techniques. Furthermore, the data were analyzed to describe the research findings. The results showed that there was a mathematical activity in the construction of the Mbaru Niang traditional house. This activity includes measuring with the concept of standard and non-standard units and designing activities related to the concept of geometry. Thus the mathematical concepts contained in the construction of the Mbaru Niang traditional house can be developed by designing a learning device and learning trajectory following school mathematics.
