The purpose of this study is to investigate the Mathematical concepts learned by three groups of students attending the 3rd grade in a private high school in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, after performing a Learning Unit (LU) about Analytic Geometry. The problem of this research is based on the following question: What are the students’ main leaning difficulties in Analytic Geometry related to Mathematics Language? How do the students apply the mathematical language in the interpretation of questions about analytical geometry in a school of the medium teaching? As a result, the main objective of this project was to identify and analyze mathematical concepts that students remind and the ones they don’t, after a Learning Unit about Analytic Geometry, in order to understand the main learning difficulties related to Mathematics language applied by students and teachers in class. Then, the collected data were analyzed based on reports written by the students about problem solutions, identifying the present concepts and comparing to the ones expected by the teacher.The aim was to develop a methodological approach to the Analytic Geometry content, identifying after the mathematical concepts presented in questions from College entrance examinations related to the subject. It was possible to identify the most presented concepts in the students learning as well as the most complex ones, the main responsible for learning difficulties. After a Leaning Unit, it was also possible to notice that students started applying Mathematics language with more autonomy and significance to solve other mathematical problems.
