Despite the great encouragement in official documents regarding the use of different metdologies for teaching and learning mathematics, it is possible to observe there is a deficit in the initial and continuing training of teachers who act in the early of elementary school about this question. It happens that in practices this is reflected in the classroom, since those teachers who were not trained to operate using different methodologies often do not use these different methods with their students. Thus, students study very little through alternative teaching methodologies, getting more exposure with the teaching of content followed by exercises on the contents exposed. our research question in this investigation was: How an alternative pedagogical proposal in mathematics, such as Problem Solving, in which the students has a more active role, could be developed in a manner conducive to teaching and learning that discipline in the initial years of elementary school through the use of manipulative teaching materials? To answer this question, we propose didactics activities of mathematics with the use manipulatives didactic materials by solving problems with more open character, to be discussed with the students in the early years of elementary shool; which are guided by Allevato and Onuchic (2009). Such activities were applied with five classrooms of the early of elementary education in two public schools located in São Carlos/SP. Students in these classrooms an initial and a final diagnosis were also applied, and a final questionnaire to understand their perceptions about the activities and the use of manipulatives materials. The theachers of these classes also completed a questionnaire at the research beginning, about their continuing training, workload, use of manipulatives learning materials and alternative approaches to teaching mathematics; and a final questionnaire on the approach applied in the classroom and the use of...
