This research found to identify the causes of excessive absences in math's classes and to contribute on the permanence of student activities in this discipline, a at public school in the Porto Alegre periphery. To do this, we interviewed thirty-five students, six mathematic s teachers and the management team of this public school. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, interviews and classroom by semi structured and Facebook. About analysis were five categories. In the first showed the pedagogical practice as a relevant factor for the permanence of the student in these classes. In the second showed the importance of interpersonal relationships for the permanence of students, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and affection, thus nurturing a good teacher-student relationship. In the third, highlighted the value of contextualizing the mathematical content to give meaning and the significance of learning. In the fourth category evidenced the difficulties related to content and the mathematical symbolism. In the fifth category argued of the mathematics teacher function in the contemporary context. In summary it was found that in the student's view, the pedagogical practice of math's teacher, the relationship between teacher and student, social factors such as work and the difficulties that students have in learning mathematics are factors that can contribute to the absence in classes of this study. In the teacher's view showed that they believe that students miss classes because of them difficulties in learning the content, social factors such as need of the student work, because the student doesn't see immediate benefits in relation to studies and doesn't understanding the meaning of mathematical knowledge. It is noticed that an attractive class, in view of the student, has several factors related to the teacher: if this encourages student leadership; it is charismatic; it is open to dialogue; it is known to listen to their students; it is humorous; it is creative in their classes; if you can have a good relationship with the student; it is affectionate and ultimately, if the content taught by him has meaning for the student. Concluded that the instructor of mathematics area can help to retain the student in the classroom by using different pedagogical procedures, with the intent to promote meaningful learning, however, only using diverse procedures doesn't in itself guarantee the students remaining in the classroom. There are social factors which are beyond the pedagogical practice and the effort of the teacher to keep his students attending his classes.
