This research aims to outline the framework and projection of ethnomathematics studies, particularly focusing on integrating ethnomathematics into the mathematics curriculum and developing learning objectives using an ethnomathematical approach. The study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology to identify, evaluate, and interpret relevant literature. The findings reveal that the ethnomathematical approach effectively enhances students' understanding of mathematics, increases their motivation and satisfaction with learning, and facilitates the development of teachers' competencies in integrating cultural elements into mathematics education. Both teachers' recommendations and research findings support the inclusion of ethnomathematics in mathematics curricula, both directly in developing learning tools and materials and in curriculum policies. Additionally, there is potential for technology applications to support ethnomathematics learning, enabling students to study mathematics independently. In conclusion, integrating ethnomathematics holds significant potential in improving students' mathematical understanding, connecting mathematics with local culture, and motivating students to learn mathematics more enjoyably and relevantly.This research aims to outline the framework and projection of ethnomathematics studies, particularly focusing on integrating ethnomathematics into the mathematics curriculum and developing learning objectives using an ethnomathematical approach.
