The difficulty on teaching-learning of Cartography is already a proven fact, by the multiples scientific works developed in the area. However we noticed that face of these difficulties, there was a featured point: The math’s influence on learning of some primordial contents of Cartography (World-Time, Geographic Coordinates and Scale). Understanding how actually this influence occurred was the guiding principle of the search. Lots of inquiries surround this problem. Why the students - as much of Basic Education as Superior - show so much difficulty on learning these contents of own Cartography which are present on Geography? In which time of the process of learning this problem occurs? What occurs on math teaching that make the students to acquire a certain aversion for this area of knowledge? Why the teachers of Basic Education face difficulties to teach that contents? Is the way those contents have been given a significant factor in the genesis of the problem? Are there methods that can minimize this difficulty faced by Teachers and Students? To answer these questions we proposed as general objective the investigation of the causes of the difficulties of teaching-learning of the contents of Cartography, linked to Math (Scale, World-Time and Geographic Coordinates) in the 6º year of Basic Education. And we define the following specific objectives: Identify the main difficulties faced by the teachers of Geography from Public Schools of the 6º year of Basic Education in Anápolis (GO) on teaching the contents of Cartography with Math basis; verify the causes of the limited learning of these contents by the students of 6º year of Basic Education from Public Schools of Anápolis (GO); to diagnose e evaluate the present contents of Cartography in the didactic books of Geography adopted by the scholar unities that were part of the search and show action proposes to alleviate the problems that generate the limitation on learning the contents of Cartography with Math basis. To meet all the proposed objectives, we used the following methodologies: bibliographic searching, interviews, application of questionnaires, systematic observation of classes, analysis of didactic books and application of a course. We concluded that there is in fact a difficulty on teaching-learning of the cartographic contents linked to Math and this difficulty is linked not only to the unpreparedness of teachers of Geography with Cartography and Mathematics contents but also in the limited basis of the students related to Math which is associated to work developed in classroom in past years that reflect on Cartography. Lastly we accomplished the aim of the work: inquires to the real causes of the problem, opening the ways for methods that can alleviate them, like the application of courses to the teachers like a way of professional improvement.
