Two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric shapes are often mathematical objects that are difficult for elementary and junior high school students to understand. Using augmented reality technology to visualize it can make it easier for students to learn geometry material. The purpose of this study was to analyze the need for developing learning media based on ethnomathematics with augmented reality. This research is quantitative research. The research subjects were 40 mathematics teachers in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Subject determination techniques using cluster random sampling in 5 districts in Yogyakarta Province. Research data were collected by giving questionnaires to respondents. The results of this study indicate (1) most of the teachers found that their students had difficulty in learning geometry material; (2) most mathematics teachers rarely use culture as a learning context; (3) all mathematics teachers have never used ethnomathematics-based Augmented reality-assisted learning media; (4) all mathematics teachers are in dire need of learning multimedia innovations to teach geometry material, such as augmented reality; and (5) the development of ethnomathematical AR multimedia based on geometry material can be a solution to create an innovation in mathematics learning that can facilitate students in learning, so as to improve mathematical abilities, make learning more meaningful, and can increase student self-regulated learning during the pandemic.
