This research presents a study on the use of Problem-Based Learning in mathematics, and more specifically, in Geometry classes among elementary school students, both in regular and youth and adult education, based on the observation that students, in general, have little identification with mathematics at this stage of their education. To this end, a historical and philosophical background that supports its use in several professional areas and its application in the field of mathematics was conducted. To support the formatting of a pedagogical proposal for each of the teaching modalities mentioned above, an analysis and evaluation of the documents that govern Brazilian education, of the textbooks currently adopted, and of the menus of the related disciplines in undergraduate mathematics courses was carried out, as well as a comparison between them. The work culminates with the presentation of the pedagogical sequences, which are presented in three stages, the first one explaining the use of the methodology in general and the two following stages with concrete, specific and detailed proposals, one for students in the seventh grade of elementary school, regular modality, and the other for students of youth and adult education, in the first cycle.
