Abstract
This research started from the guiding questions: What are the difficulties encountered by teachers of the initial years of Elementary School in the face of the subject of mathematics? How can these difficulties be overcome? Thus, the research aimed to identify the difficulties encountered by teachers in the initial years of Elementary School in relation to the discipline of mathematics, highlighting how they were overcome. The data was collected through the application of a questionnaire to 07 teachers working in the initial years of Elementary School, and was analyzed through Content Analysis. Three categories emerged: (C1) Reports of personal experiences in relation to the subject of mathematics; (C2) Overcoming difficulties in mathematics; (C3) Academic suggestions for teacher education. From the results found, it was noted that in-service education, the exchange of experiences and the availability of materials that address mathematical content are factors that directly affect overcoming the difficulties with the subject.
