Abstract
This article aims to narrate the trajectories of the first Maths Education Labs (MEL) in higher education in Portugal. It seeks, in particular, to understand the perspectives inherent in its creation and evolution, to scrutinize the formative practices that took place there, and to identify the challenges facing its sustainability. It is a narrative investigation that, for data collection, opted for conducting interviews and documents focused on this MEL. Data analysis revealed that the MEL was established in 1989 to support students in initial training as well as teachers, in order to bring innovations to the teaching and learning of Mathematics. Over time, there was a need to revisit its principles, as the old function of supporting the construction of materials was no longer relevant. Among the main challenges are institutional difficulties and resource acquisition.
