By necessity, the people are always measuring, counting or gauging something present in the environment that they are inserted. In this perspective, ethnomathematics, in a cultural-historical approach, helps to better understand the ability of a people collectivize and create representations of reality, because all the different social groups originate different knowledges. In this study the main objective was to investigate, through a perspective ethnomathematics, the mathematical culture of the Surui Paiter villages in daily, watching your numeration system and how the indigenous teacher Surui develops its activities. The research was qualitative, with interviews and observations to residents, students and teachers from the villages. During the research we found different ways that can be used to teach concepts of mathematics taking bias as the culture of a people, in a formal and informal environment, minimizing barriers to learning and making it more meaningful. We stress the importance of mathematical knowledge for indigenous and the use this knowledge in maintenance of the villages (product sales, construction, plantations, among others). We verify what are the math contents more used and which help in their works and in the development of the villages. During the research it became clear the interdisciplinary as an indispensable tool in overcoming the difficulties of teaching in the villages (lack of suitable material, some lack of teaching resources ?). The teachers use the mathematical topics as an extraordinary teaching resource, combining them to the educational process as a whole. Thus, in addition to learning mathematical concepts, they can form responsible citizens concerned with the rights of others and the welfare of all. Ethnomathematics, in turn, assists the learner and the educator to understand the holistic reality of knowledge to understand facts observed from another angle, become less complicated, encourages research and therefore the discovery, back to the origin. To teach mathematics to a people of the forest, using his culture as a platform, with their meanings and diverse forms, is get him learning between four walls and expose him to a novel scenario in which the theory is confused with reality, immersing the student in shapes and comprehensible models.
