Abstract(s)

This text is based on research, which is still in progress, whose main objective is to identify and understand what the main difficulties of future mathematics teachers of basic education are, regarding their knowledge in geometry in the context of the curricular unit of Geometry during their undergraduate degree. We chose a qualitative approach in the form of case study, in which data collection was done through observation, interviews, a diverse set of tasks, a diagnostic test and other documents. This paper focuses on the test given to prospective teachers at the beginning of the course. The preliminary analysis of the data points to a weak performance of future teachers in the test issues addressing elementary knowledge of Geometry.
