This research work aims to investigate how the WebQuest Methods can collaborate in the development of Mathematic contents together with the high school students, using as basis the resources available on the Internet, featuring an activity of research and development. The WebQuest Method was developed by Bernie Dodge, professor of the University of San Diego in 1995. The WebQuest entitled "What a football ball has to do with mathematics?" has as central theme related to the shape of a football ball with the Archimedean Solid, part of the Geometry that is very little studied in the high school. This WebQuest activity has been apllied in a class of 32 students of the third year of a public school in São Paulo. Then it has applied to two classes of the second grade, with 20 students each, in a private school, also in São Paulo. Analyzing the conception and application of the WebQuest, the purpose was verifing whether this activity has some benefit in relation to the student learning confronting with the traditional way of presenting the same content (expository classes with blackboard and chalk).The support of this research, was performed connecting the spontaneous knowledge and scientific knowledge, once that the football ball is known by the most people. It also uses the concepts of how to do and understanding and collaborative work. From the analysis of the final products of the proposed tasks in the WebQuest and the answers to a questionnaire offered to students it can be concluded that knowledge can be built from the research made on the Internet, like this contributing to the development of contents of mathematics. It may be observed also in terms of motivation and interest, a considerable growth on the part of students, to achievement of studies on subjects of Mathematics using this feature (Internet), particularly the collaborative work developed by them
