<![CDATA[This study describes the implementation of the traditional game of engklek as a medium for learning mathematics on plane geometry for first-grade students of Klodangan State Elementary School. This research was motivated by the need for concrete learning media in lower elementary school grades to simplify abstract mathematical concepts and increase student learning interest. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources and techniques, while data analysis was carried out through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions according to the Miles and Huberman model. The results revealed that the integration of the engklek game was implemented through three phases: planning, implementation, and evaluation. This media effectively created an interactive learning atmosphere and made it easier for students to associate the concept of plane geometry with real-life experiences. The availability of permanent engklek field facilities was a major supporting factor, despite obstacles such as challenges in managing outdoor classrooms and limited student literacy in understanding instructions. Overall, the use of engklek has been optimally implemented and received full support from the school as an innovative strategy in preserving local culture.]]>
