In Venezuela, in particular, many mathematical contents of this culture have been devalued, destroyed or forgotten since the moment of the European invasion of the American continent, with the destruction of a great quantity of our patrimonies. Of course, many of the mathematical knowledge has been lost and others have been buried in such a colonizing process. And with this, a teaching of mathematical knowledge centered on procedures, calculations and exact results has been imposed in the classroom, the forms of evaluation that are implemented tend to be rigorous to allow obtaining a grade. These characteristics have not allowed qualitative evaluations to be developed, for example, only results are quantified, losing social pertinence, moving away from the reality of the learner and his everyday life. This reflexive theoretical research aims to analyze the teaching of mathematics from the triad complexity - everydayness - ethnomathematics, taking into account qualitative evaluations that aims to develop a critical and reflective thinking, where students are taught to solve problems of daily life using of the knowledge of this important scientific area. Guiding them to develop their skills and the construction of useful knowledge for life. However, in the future other bonanzas that this relationship brings to the investigation will be needed. Mathematics from its origin are immersed in the history and culture of humanity, are essential for the advancement of society, and is interwoven in the activities performed by the subject in their day to day. According to these changes from the teaching of mathematics arises ethnomathematics, based on the practices of social groups according to their beliefs, environment and everyday, to give an explanation of how society makes use of and applies such an important discipline and addresses it.
