Popis: International audience; This article aims to analyze teaching programs, textbooks and journals of education in order to better understand the ideas that circulated in São Paulo, Brazil, at the end of the 19 th century about the conceptualization and the utilization of problems for the teaching of mathematics in these documents. The research was conducted through a culture-historical approach (Chartier, 2002), which compels the researcher to have a questioning attitude towards the object of study. Thus, it was possible to observe that both the teaching program and the textbook valued the utilization of problems because both connect the concept of problem with activities presented through narratives in order for students to apply previous knowledge. On the other hand, the theme did not have the same value in the journal of education because it discussed that topic in only one article, which introduced the concept of problem as a synonym for a type of exercise related to calculations.
