Ethnomathematics is one of the efforts to learn mathematics contained in a culture. The culture in question is the habits, attitudes or activities carried out by the community to preserve culture. One of the cultural activities in which there is ethnomathematics is the culture carried out by the people of Wuluhan District, Jember Regency. One of the districts known as the largest producer of tobacco. There is ethnomathematics in the tobacco drying process carried out by the Wuluhan community. There are mathematical concepts such as counting, measuring and designing in the process. The purpose of this study was to explore the existence of ethnomathematics in the activity of drying tobacco leaves in the Wuluhan community. The method used for this research is data collection using observation and interviews. In the harvesting process, which is carried out in stages, there is the concept of counting. For the mathematical concept of measuring, there are stages of measuring the distance between tobacco leaves and determining the length of the rope. In the design activity there is a mathematical concept in the form of making a tobacco warehouse.
