This paper aims to report the experience of a teaching project developed by a group of 6th grade’s teachers at the Center for Education and Research Applied to Education (CEPAE) of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG). Specifically, intends to discuss the teaching methodology developed, namely Problem Solving and Mathematical Investigations, based on Polya (1978; 2006), Ponte (1998, 2003), Butts (1997) and Buriasco (1995), which the teachers based themselves to make adaptations for the classroom. The teaching project discusses and proposes ways of structuring the dynamics of the mathematics class and the development of activities and their statements, according to the methodological proposal. Finally, it presents two narratives, taking them as reference to reflect on the experience of the project and to evaluate the challenges of the teacher, especially pedagogical mediation in contexts of discovery and invention, as proposed.
