Popis: The Peasant Education is based on the valorization of the peasant context and consequent defense of the contextualization of the content from local contexts, also defends the teaching of the formal knowledge. However, in mathematics teaching problems are perceived to satisfy these conditions, such as relating local contexts to the rigidity of formal mathematical content. In this sense, this article presents reflections from the statements of students of the Peasant Education Course, in the habilitation in Mathematics, about what they think of these contexts (Peasant context and formal mathematics) and the languages practiced in educational activities, such as uses of algorithms and contextualized problems. Wittgenstein's (1999) philosophy of language and the concepts of language games and family resemblances are used to analyze students' speeches. The discourse of the defense of the contextualization from the daily life is shown present in the speeches of the students, as well as defend the importance of the formal content. The students still demonstrate to prefer the use of algorithms to contextualized problems.
