This work was motivated at first by our professional practice in teaching in Basic Education and, later, in the search to solve the difficulties with the teaching of mathematics in Elementary School. The main objective is to propose an analysis of the contribution made by monitoring to the teaching and learning of mathematics and its importance in the experience acquired by the participation of 9 th grade students in Maceió / AL. The research was classified as exploratory-descriptive, with a quantitative approach, where we sought to understand and define our monitoring project as an object of investigation. A questionnaire was used as an instrument of data collection in obtaining answers together to students and students-monitors. From the descriptive analysis of the data, it was possible to verify that the insertion of this pedagogical proposal demonstrated that a great part of the students present difficulties in the understanding of the discipline and that the majority attends the monitoring only in the days previous to the tests, but creates an environment of participation and Interaction on the part of the students in a service of pedagogical support that aims at the development of skills and theoretical depths for the learning of the discipline. The monitors agree that monitoring contributes to learning, but stresses the importance of regular attendance of students to monitoring. The monitoring activities are a tool that facilitates a stimulus of theoretical-practical study to the students and, also, it stimulates to the monitors an awakening of the posture of the voluntarism and professional vocation. Therefore, this practice of monitoring provides great benefits that can be enjoyed by students, monitor and teacher in order to assist and contribute to the development of a more meaningful and enjoyable learning of Mathematics.
