In Russian science, ethnomathematics is a new area of study. Its problems are compound and multifaceted. Notwithstanding the fact that the last decades have seen active advancement of disciplines concerned with the problems of ethnically-specific education and upbringing, many of its concepts and delineations remain undefined. In this paper we present the results of a fundamental theoretical and methodological study carried out in 2013 - 2016. Here we reveal and describe theoretical foundations of ethnomathematics. Using the method of extrapolation, we mould its methodology and put together its terminology.
