The objective of this work, a qualitative approach is to analyze errors that occurred so often in certain elementary school content. With the question guideline How can we contribute to the teaching practice, to propose a reflection of this professional in the search for alternatives that help students learn from their mistakes in mathematics? Lays out points that can influence and cause an error by our students. We made an approach as the main authors used in public and private networks in the Juiz de Fora city are addressing these issues. Our theoretical and methodological basis is the psychologist's book Daniel Kahneman, entitled, Fast and Slow: two ways of thinking; we will make an analysis of how the human mind, in order to try to understand what might cross the minds of our students during their learning. With aside questions assessments of mathematics teachers, they will read how they go interpreting errors committed in their assessments. For real understanding of what the student understands with such content will be applied some tests with elementary school students in EE Mercedes Nery Machado, located in the central region of Juiz de Fora city, to ascertain their understanding on a problem and the sense that some content do to the same.
