This paper presents some historic aspects related to current scientific research and clarifies some understandings about the underlying world view, known as ecologic thought or sistemic thought. The text highlights that, in order to achieve the ecologic world view in Math teaching, it's not necessary to replace the contents of the curriculum, but instead, to change the way those are approached. As an example, a didactic activity is emphasized, which involves the quadractic function, giving a suggestion about how to approach it when assuming the phenomenological worldview.
