The study examined how local artisans and mathematics teachers think the Akan traditional art might help senior high school students learn geometry. The Akan people live in Ashanti Region of Ghana. The study targeted experienced mathematics teachers and Akan traditional art experts. Seven experienced mathematics teachers and three craftsmen were chosen using purposive sampling. We conducted interviews with participants using a semi-structured guide to collect detailed data. The data was thematically analysed. The analysis revealed four themes; demonstrating how teachers use students' experiences to build new knowledge and help them apply it to new situations. We conclude that geometry is linked to the Akan culture and encourage instructors to adjust school geometry accordingly and also encourage ethnomathematics research.
