This research aims to investigate how two early year teachers of the São Paulo State relate to the specific curriculum materials: Space and Form. For this, we analyze which material s elements contribute to practice and how teachers interpret and use these materials. This is a qualitative research with three different data collection instruments: the analysis of curriculum materials developed by the Projeto Educação Matemática nos Anos Iniciais (EMAI), implemented by the São Paulo State Department of Education; data collection through teacher class observation of the 1st year of elementary school and of the 5th year of primary education and semi-structured interviews, realized with the same teachers. In order to understand the relationship among the teachers and curriculum materials, we rely on Brown studies (2009) which highlights the features of each side of this relationship and points out the different types of use: the reproduction, adaptation and creation. Complementing our theoretical framework, we search authors who discuss the topic Space and Form as Van Hiele (CROWLEY, 1994), Parzysz (1988;2006) and Piaget; Inhelder (1993). The results show that teachers use materials in different ways in a single class. They reproduce, adapt or create situations. And these ways of use may reflect teachers' conceptions and knowledge regarding to the material and the theme explored. We emphasize that the quality of teaching practice depends on the contributions of materials and teacher resources. Thus, we conclude that the teacher needs to be updated constantly in relation to content and teaching practices, appropriating the materials used in the classroom as tools that help the practice
