In order to contribute to the practice of teachers from the reflection and search for methods that can help and enrich the teaching-learning process of the students. The survey results showed that the use of the history of mathematics is restricted to what is presented in textbooks the main reason the little knowledge of the history of mathematics, caused by the lack of discipline of the history of mathematics in academic courses and training continued. This shows that the history of mathematics, as a teaching strategy is something that is far from the current reality of the teachers in this region.
