The present research had as its to investigate the contributions of the methodology of Problems Resolution and the use of concrete material in the teaching and learning process of the four mathematical operations with whole numbers, with students of the seventh year of elementary school. The objectives were: to analyze how the pupils solved problems related to the four operations; the manner how they used the concrete material in the resolution of problems; to identify how the students related the situation-problem in the classroom to their daily life and, finally, to verify if the work in group facilitated the Resolution of the Problems, which involved the four mathematical operations with whole numbers. The methodological approach used was the qualitative type, being used in the steps of resolution of problems (Polya, 1978). The information collected was based on a class diary and on the recording of pupils in the material hand out in each class. The individuals were the pupils in the seventh year of elementary school from Aracy Barreto Sachis. Analyzing the collected data, from observations of the teacher and student achievements, it was possible to infer that the teaching of the four mathematical operations gained a new insight for the students when they used the concrete material following the Resolutions of Problems methodology. It can be concluded that the application of the didactic sequence, with the help of the concrete material and the work in pairs, favored the students’ learning, process because it produced an interactive atmosphere for discussion and argument the possible to overcome the difficulties arisen in the understanding of the concepts of mathematical operations with whole numbers.
