Palimbangan is one of eleven Banjar traditional houses in South Borneo which is devoted to religious leaders, besides Rumah Bubungan Tinggi, Palimasan, Balai Laki, Balai Bini, Gajah Manyusu, Gajah Baliku, Joglo, Anjung Surung, Tadah Alas, and Lanting. The characteristic that distinguishes Palimbangan from other Banjar traditional houses is that there is calligraphy engraved on the front of the house that located above the entrance and two windows on the left and right of the door. The importance of using Palimbangan as an ethnomathematics contexts is that we are not only learn about mathematics itself but also learn about the culture. Students can see relationship between mathematics and traditional house so they will know that mathematics are close to their environment. This qualitative research with ethnographic approach was intended to describe the ethnomathematics in designing Palimbangan related to religious contents. The subjects of this research were the owner of the house as an informant and researcher as a mathematician. The data collection methods used were observation and interview. Ethnomathematics emerged in the determination of the number of stairs, home fence art, and house floor height. During the process of determining the number of stairs and flower carvings, the concept of multiplying and dividing emerged. During the process of designing fences and door, the concept of parallel line and angle emerged. During the process of determining the floor height due to its function, the concept of set emerged. The value of this result is that humans must be kind to others, kind to nature, and live according to the rules of religion. Humans must also believe that there is only one God and view their fellow human beings as equal.
