This paper focuses on Mathematics Education in the context of Solidarity Economy and aims to approach our performance, aiming to answer demands of Mathematics Education of the three Solidarity Economy Enterprises (SEE): a cooperative cleaning, of a women carpenter’s group and a group manufacturing homemade soap. Based on the Ethnomathematics, a pedagogical intervention with these SEE was performed, in which we attempted to work the Mathematics within the cultural context of these enterprises through problem situations related to their daily work and through non-formal education. The research followed a qualitative research and was characterized as action research. As a result we found that the approach applied has contributed to changes some attitudes of the research subjects, it was favorable to the learning of concepts and also the socioeconomic reintegration, in the direction of a posture more critical and emancipatory. Also, realize that non-formal education can indeed contribute to the ideals of Education in the Solidarity Economy as a way include those who have been socially excluded by formal education provided by the school.

Keywords : Ethnomathematics; Solidarity Economy; Educational Processes in Mathematics Education; Non-formal Education.
