Abstract
Ethnomathematics is a form of mathematics that is influenced or based on culture. In mathematical activities there are mathematical concepts that can be revealed, especially in the Kampung Pulo community, also aiming to show the reciprocal relationship between mathematics and culture. This study aims to describe the traditional house of Kampung Pulo into mathematics learning, the data obtained in the form of qualitative data. The research instrument used the interview, observation, and documentation methods. The data validity technique in this study was triangulation. The results showed that the shape of the roof of the traditional house, the room in the traditional house, the motif of the walls of the traditional house, the foundation of the traditional house and the shape of the pillars in the traditional house of Kampung Pulo consisted of the geometric concepts of building space, flat shapes, angles, and lines. Therefore, culture-based mathematics learning is needed in schools because it is not only to understand mathematical concepts, but students are also introduced to and love their own culture.
