The research presented in this dissertation intends to collaboratewith the improvement of the teaching practicefor the Young and Adult Education, through the use of didactic strategieswhich allow to identify and to valorize the knowledge, the experiences and the interactions ina group, collaborating to a meaningful learning. It was performed with EJA(Young and Adult Education)students, who havean empirical Math knowledge, used by them during their daily routines. The study was developed from the following research problem: how the recognition of previous knowledge of the students from PROEJA (Brazilian National Program for the Integration of Professional and Basic Education forAdults) about Geometry can help them to build new knowledgeand, its objective was to understand how this recognition and theimportance given to this knowledge can contribute totheir learning. A methodological proposal focused on Geometry was developed in order to perform this research, which included the creation of an enterprise. To do that, the students were asked to follow several steps, like: planning the work, working on the ground floor, searching for price and building a scale model. The instruments used on the research included a questionnaire to verify the students‟ previous knowledge, notes taken from the class observation,analysis of the students‟ evaluation about the activities that were realized and a semi-structured interview with a group of students. The analysis of the data showed that the use of teaching strategies which challenge the students to relate the knowledge built during their lives to the one developed in the school practice allows a meaningful learning. Motivation, leadership and interaction among the ones involved could also be noticed, what indicated that the teaching strategies contributed to the improvement of the students critical thinking and self-esteem. In addition to that, they allowed them to better understand their reality.
