Abstract

La Galigo Museum in Fort Rotterdam, Makassar, South Sulawesi, holds various historical relics of the Gowa-Tallo Kingdom, including South Sulawesi Heritage Objects. These objects reflect geometric elements that have the potential to be explored through the concept of ethnomathematics. This study aims to examine the application of ethnomathematics in South Sulawesi Heritage Objects and its relation to geometry learning. Using ethnographic approach and qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation at La Galigo Museum. The results show that heirlooms such as badik, kawali, and parang contain geometric shapes such as triangles, squares, trapezoids, as well as tubes and spheres. The integration of ethnomathematics in mathematics learning has the potential to improve geometry understanding, student motivation, and appreciation of local culture
