The article describes a developed activity with a Mathematics teachers’ group of “year six” of Elementary Education who interact under the University guidance through their researcher docents, in integration with the Municipal Secretary of Canoas/RS. The objective of this study was to analyse how students solve mathematical problems, involving operations with natural numbers and wether there is a common base in these students’ performance. To carry out this research, ten mathematical problems were selected, solved and applied to one hundred and fifty students of year six of Elementary Education in six classes of four municipal schools. The results’ quantitative and qualitative analysis point to common base perspectives in the students performances, highlight the role of mathematical knowledge and the didactic/pedagogical circumstances that involve problem solving such as competences and abilities.Downloads
