<![CDATA[One thing that cannot be separated from education is learning. One of the competencies that are expected to be achieved in the learning process is the ability to solve mathematical problems. However, in reality many students have low mathematical problem solving abilities. Students memorize more often than understand mathematical concepts. To overcome this problem, a learning innovation is needed, such as Discovery Learning in collaboration with an ethnomathematical approach. The purpose of this study is to find out how ethnomathematics-based Discovery Learning can improve students' mathematical problem solving abilities. The research method used is a qualitative method with a Library Research approach. The researcher uses Miles and Huberman's data analysis techniques, namely, by summarizing, presenting data, and providing conclusions. Through this study, it was found that ethnomathematics-based Discovery Learning was deemed able to improve students' mathematical problem solving abilities. This is supported by the relationship between the stages of learning using ethnomathematics-based Discovery Learning with indicators of students' mathematical problem solving abilities. The application of this learning model will help students build knowledge through experience, so that the knowledge that has been obtained by students can be embedded in long-term memory.Keywords: Discovery Learning; Ethnomathematics; Mathematics problem solving ability ]]>
