Abstract
This paper analyzes the material concerning the Mathematics Curriculum of the State of Sao Paulo, in force since 2008, and the perceptions of teachers regarding its use. It is a qualitative, analytical-descriptive research, grounded on the material analysis and in a questionnaire applied to 80 Mathematics teachers from the public school network of Presidente Prudente municipality (SP). The material does not indicate significant changes in the contents in relation to previous curricula, but it establishes learning situations as teaching organizers. Results highlight that most teachers would not use the material in a spontaneous way. The rationale presented by the teachers refer mainly to the lack of theory in the material and to the students’ lag of knowledge.
