Reflections on the building of a history of mathematics for pre-service teacher education

We present in this paper some reflections on the participation of history in the pre-service Mathematics Teacher Education. These reflections are product of an investigation which goal was to constitute a history on some methods of area determination, particulary of some works about plane figures areas, guided for pre-service Mathematics Teacher Education. In the building of this history we used the perspective of The Guided Pedagogical History proposed by Miguel and Miorim. In this text we present some problematizations and reflexions about the mathematical culture, in which those methods were built, that can give evidence to the multiple dimensions of the Mathematics, removing it from its supposed isolation of other social practices that participate of the formation of this mathematical culture.
