This study aims to describe the use of ethnomathematics in traditional Bugis-Makassar foods, such as Barongko, Roko-Roko Cangkuning, and Bolu Peca, as a context for learning mathematics, especially in the field of spatial geometry. The method applied is a qualitative descriptive approach with ethnographic techniques, including direct observation of the traditional food making process, in-depth interviews with cake makers, and visual documentation. The results of the study revealed that the three types of culinary have clear geometric shapes, namely Barongko in the form of a triangular prism, Roko-Roko Cangkuning in the form of a square pyramid, and Bolu Peca in the form of a cuboid, and each cake is full of deep cultural and philosophical values in the traditions of the Bugis-Makassar community. These findings indicate that traditional foods can be used as contextual and meaningful learning media to understand the concept of spatial geometry while introducing local wisdom to students, so that the integration of ethnomathematics in learning becomes an effective strategy to improve mathematical understanding and preserve local culture.
