Part of a dissertation presented to the Graduate Program in Teaching of Sciences and Mathematics (PPGECIM / UFAL), this paper proposes reflections on the written production of short stories in mathematics classes from the problem-solving perspective, aiming to evince mathematical knowledge from these stories. Adopting an action research methodology, this qualitative research was conducted as a pedagogical intervention in a school located in Brasil Novo, a neighborhood in the city of Rio Largo / AL. Data on 35 students in the10-13 age bracket were gathered through participant observation, open questionnaire and textual production of students. Results revealed evidence of the potential of the activities proposed in the intervention for the written production of short stories, identifying mathematical knowledge, such as measurements of time, geometry, location and quantities in the problem-solving perspective, bringing students closer to the mathematics existing in their reality.

Keywords : Reading and production of stories; Mathematics teaching; Problem solving.
