So we need an innovation that has the goal of creating mathematics learning media for mentally retarded children in support of the 2030 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) target, namely Smart Book Mathematics for Disabilities (SOMABEL) which hopes to be able to support them in facing obstacles to learning mathematics, especially flat shape material. The research method chosen in this research is Research and Development (R&D), data collection is done by case studies, literature studies, observations, and interviews. The results of the study show that Somabel learning media can increase the learning enthusiasm of mentally retarded students where this media is directly integrated into website-based technology, which has and preserves the culture of Bengkulu Province, as well as good book design and physical media so it is not boring in learning math material. This learning media innovation also assists teachers in teaching teachers, because apart from being a reference material this media is also not boring and can be additional knowledge for introducing culture in Bengkulu Province.
