Abstract
This article presents some aspects of math school practices in Nossa Senhora da Piedade Institute, located in Ilhéus, Bahia, in a period when the teachers of this educational institution used the didactic series entitled Mathematics, between 1989 and 1998. The teachers’ experience with this series begins in late 1989, with the training course taught by Martha Dantas, one of the authors of the series. Considering the Oral History methodological approach, we produced written documents from interviews with teachers and Eliana Costa Nogueira, another author of the books. After understanding, with Michel de Certeau, the practices or ways of doing operations of users to cultural products offered or imposed to them, we interpreted as mathematical content and pedagogical guidelines suggested by the authors of the collection, are read by teachers and reinterpreted to consider their experiences and needs that arise when working with this series with their students.
