This study aimed to analyze how students solve problem situations, as well as the teacher's view regarding this approach, as didactic for teaching and learning of the student. In the theoretical fundamental we bring the discussion about Problem Solving using Dante (2009), Rêgo and Paiva (2010), Pozo and Encheverría (1998) and PCN (1998) and others. The research deals with the exploratory objectives, and the data collection is a case study, in which the data were selected through a questionnaire applied to the teacher and six situations problems for the students. Eighteen students were submitted so that they could solve six problem situations, in the way they were interpreting, and at the end of each question to answer their opinion about the question, if it had found the degree of ease or difficulty. After this action was performed an analysis by crossing the data with the students' answers together with the classification. With the result of the analysis it is observe that students lack a greater interpretation of our language, as well as greater stimulation to mathematical thinking. Already the teacher for is in formation is in the phase of adaptation with the newcomers to the 6th grade.
