Mathematics and culture are important and interrelated in everyday life. The purpose of this study is to explore ethnomathematics in the Ledo Hawu traditional dance of the Sabu Community in Raijua District. In addition, through the exploration of ethnomathematics, it can be identified various mathematical concepts in the Ledo Hawu traditional dance of the Sabu community in Raijua District. This research is qualitative-explorative research with an ethnographic design. The subject of this study consisted of 5 people who were dancers and leaders of the cultural society. Data in this research were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The data validity test is carried out by triangulation of sources. Data analysis techniques are carried out through data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The results of this study showed that there is ethnomathematics in the Ledo Hawu traditional dance which is indicated by the characteristic of counting, locating, designing, and explaining activities. Based on those activities, mathematical concepts can be identified in the Ledo Hawu traditional dance which includes the concepts of addition, multiplication, geometry, arithmetic sequences, number patterns, geometric transformations, and mathematical logic. Those various mathematical concepts can be developed by designing mathematics learning tools that can be applied in mathematics learning.
