Abstract:
The aim of this study is to instigate reflections about the teaching and learning
process, which often serves as an instrument of exclusion. Therefore, it s necessary
to build a large discussion of all involved in this process, raising issues that can
subsidize the construction of alternatives for teaching and learning
mathematics today. In order to develop this purpose, a literature search
methodology and questionnaires were used. So, it is clear that an urgent change in
the image of mathematics is needed, not only in the way students see it, but how it is
interpreted by teachers. One has to rethink its teaching process, still ruled
by very archaic methodologies that aim to support the current neoliberal system.
