Abstract: This study examines the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of learning tools based on the ethnomathematics, aimed at enhancing problem-solving. Using the ADDIE model, the research involved 32 class VIII students. The results show that the developed learning tools teaching modules and textbookshave the following characteristics: (1) Learning activities integrate ethnomathematics with a scientific approach to the Pythagorean theorem for class VIII students. (2) Validity assessment: the teaching module scored 89.26%, and the textbook scored 80%. (3) Practicality assessment: teachers rated the tools at 83.33%, while students rated them at 86.27%. (4) Effectiveness: The hypothesis test showed that the tools significantly facilitated problem-solving (average score of 86.45).
