Resumo: The 21st century society requires a complexity of significative information to the citizens’ social and professional life so that it promotes constant and systematic knowledge upgrade. Furthermore, analyses of mathematics curriculum frameworks in High School have emphasized the need to develop competences promoting the development of scientific thought as well as the acquisition of mathematical knowledge to be applied in different contexts. Due to problems faced by teachers to propose contextualized activities that make it possible to the student to mathematize situations and to match theory with practice, the need of identifying the main learning problems detected in high school students in Rio Grande do Sul emerges. The National Institute for Educational Research and Studies (INEP) has collected information since the 1990s about the performance of Brazilian students through the National Basic Education Evaluation System (SAEB), which is a national assessment that uses samples from both Elementary and High School. The research was undertaken with the help of a group of High School Mathematics teachers of a state school in Cachoeira do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.An action research was done aiming transformation: the improvement of mathematics classroom settings, teaching practice and consequently the teaching-learning process. Under such circumstances, the investigators have met every fortnight in sessions of study, reflection and evaluation, indicating the main deficiencies revealed by the investigated subjects from detailed analysis of SAEB/2003 test, which was answered by the students in the third grade of High School. The required abilities of every subject were also observed as well as the possible causes for their low achievement in the test and possible methodological and evaluative alternatives, which may be introduced in this context aiming to enhance the teaching-learning process in which students in this level have been involved with. The researchers proposed several methodological situations in order to contribute to the qualification of the Mathematics teaching-learning process, such as the replanning of teaching activities, the reorganization of group work, the use of technological resources and games in the classroom as well as the reorientation of the use of bibliographic resources. Aiming to observe the evolution of the students` knowledge, the researchers have pointed fundamental actions to the evaluative process and the criteria and parameters used, being observed the characteristics of the students involved. The researchers have also suggested evaluative alternatives such as the use of written reports and/or oral presentations, the use of a file card of personal register, of portfolia and self-evaluation activities, besides the written tests and the results of group work. The proposed suggestions and the correspondent evidence may contribute to the qualification of teachers` practice and to the Mathematics learning process.
