This study aimed to investigate how to develop the mathematics education through the practice of teachers who worked in the School Application linked to Federal University of Para in the 1970s and 1980s, seeking mainly through the memories of these characters constitute a of the past representation of the history of mathematics education, considering the backdrop of that school context. To contextualize the research, I organized a brief statement depicting the social situation and the country's political. I conducted interviews with six teachers who worked at the school and analyzed the collected reports. Data analysis enables unveil a past not been investigated yet. As a research methodology, I used the knowledge arising from the Oral History, and avail myself of documents relating to the school's history to make it possible to set up historical sources. Research is demarcated in the History of Education, marking the cultural history as their main theoretical contribution, through the contributions of authors like Bloch (2001), Le Goff (2003) and Chartier (1996, 2009). To meet this historical field, also made use of research developed by the authors of the History of Mathematics Education, as Valente (2009) and Mendes (2012). Research results reveal reflections on the teaching do, with regard to the commitment and the spirit of unity of a work carried out with dignity by teachers, highlighting for future generations of educators that the effects of a job with traces of excellency are not exhausted in the school environment.
