This study explores the integration of ethnomathematics teaching materials into mathematics learning in elementary schools. The research employs a systematic literature review (SLR) to analyze existing studies on the effectiveness of ethnomathematics in enhancing students' mathematical understanding and connecting mathematics with local culture. The findings indicate that ethnomathematics effectively improves students' motivation and satisfaction with mathematics when linked to their cultural context. It also supports the development of teachers' competencies in integrating cultural elements into mathematics education. The research highlights the potential of ethnomathematics to improve students' mathematical understanding, connect mathematics with local culture, and motivate students to learn mathematics in a more enjoyable and relevant way. The study also suggests that technology can support ethnomathematics learning, enabling students to study mathematics independently. The research concludes that integrating ethnomathematics into mathematics curricula has significant potential in improving students' mathematical understanding and connecting mathematics with local culture. The study recommends further research on the development of ethnomathematics-based teaching materials adapted to the cultural assets of each region in Indonesia.This study explores the integration of ethnomathematics teaching materials into mathematics learning in elementary schools.
