Abstract: Problem solving ability is very important in learning mathematics. However, the problem-solving ability of grade VII students of SMP Negeri 4 Busungbiu is still low. Various research results related to the use of ethnomathematics in mathematics learning are effective in improving problem solving abilities. The purpose of this study is to produce an E-Module containing ethnomathematics that is valid for improving problem solving abilities. This study is preliminary research which is the initial step of design research. The subjects of the study were grade VII mathematics teachers of SMP Negeri 4 Busungbiu. The instruments used to collect data were documentation, observation, and validation sheets. Furthermore, the data were analyzed descriptively. The results of the study showed that the E-Module containing ethnomathematics has valid quality for improving problem solving abilities with the following characteristics: (1) learning achievement, (2) learning objectives, (3) concept maps, (4) ethnomathematics, (5) interaction, and (6) discovery.
