Abstract

The present work addresses the main difficulties in mathematical learning, as well as its importance for everyday life, seeks to highlight the main existing problems and propose methodologies that make the effectiveness flow in this discipline. In view of this, it is necessary for teachers to understand the real difficulties and the cause of them and eminently research ways to solve them. An important aspect that facilitates the student’s understanding is to relate the mathematical content to the student’s sociocultural context and their daily experiences, so they can grasp it more easily, it will also make them able to see mathematics as it really is: significant and essential in everyday life. This work was developed in order to highlight the main impasses encountered by students in the approach to mathematical contents, and their importance in everyday life, thus aiming at the delimitation of these difficulties and the appreciation of mathematics in everyday life.
