The study presented here is the result of a master's research linked to the Graduate Program in Science and Mathematics Teaching (PPGECIM/UFAL) with the aim of analyzing, in the context of Mathematics classes in Elementary School, the possibility of developing problem-based learning practices of flat figure areas. This is qualitative research that adopted intervention research as a method, and 19 students from a private school located in the interior of Alagoas participated in this study. As data collection devices we use participant observation, problem solving activities and interviews. The results revealed that the subjects, when reflecting on their practices and resolutions, glimpsed the possibility of transforming them from the theoretical-methodological contributions of Problem-Based Learning (PBL), configuring as possibilities and ways of learning about the area of ​​flat figures, by the interaction and collaboration of the subjects involved in this study.
