This paper intends to present a didactic proposal in the teaching of the equations of the second
degree, having as orientation the History of Mathematics. The problematizing question is as
follows: How to teach second-degree equations using the history of mathematics in the
classroom? In order to answer this question, I outlined some objectives related to the
construction of a didactic proposal based on information found in different works. The
research was done as a form of documentary research in specific literatures, among the data of
analyzes are: textbooks, paradidatic books, books of history of mathematics and articles of
history of mathematics. The information extracted from these works, outlined the construction
of the didactic proposal that is configured as a play entitled "Traveling in time with the history
of the equations of the second degree", highlighting the main mathematicians who contributed
directly to the formula for solving these equations. This proposal seeks to arouse students'
interest through the historical plot and the researcher's spirit, which can provide meaningful
teaching of the equations of the second degree.
