This research theme is Mathematics education in Pará and at investigating the analysis of the dynamics of their formation and, more specifically, its origin, its process of organizing, diffusion, institutionalization and characterization, with reference to the study groups and surveys that were organized in the state, their contexts, as well as its ramifications productions made in the area, mainly in the form of dissertations and theses. My intention is to analyze the existing Mathematics Education in Pará, seeking to identify their ways of structuring and organization, and analysis of existing production, to identify emphases, trends, and striking traits, characteristics capable of giving indicative of the current moment of your process development. Start by defining the approach of research to then make an epistemological foray order to understand the mathematics education as a professional field and related to reality and to the processes of teaching and learning research. To do this, take as a reference Araujo (1980), Carvalho (1991) BICUDO (1994) and FIORENTINI & Lorenzato (2006). In order to contextualize the research make a brief journey through the scenarios of production of Mathematical Education in Pará, at the mention of historical and social aspects of the city of Belém and Pará State, including universities where groups have organized and where originate the research collected and analyzed. That done, I describe the history of mathematics education in Pará, in the form of genealogy, with a path whose initial reference the results of earlier research conducted by me to then present results that allow me to identify a movement whose taproot of Mathematics group that formed in the old club Sciences UFPA, which acted as point of dissemination and spread of ideas and concepts in addition to materialize as a focal point for scholars on the subject. Continuing, I attempt to identify characteristics that allow me to state that the actions of Mathematics Education were institutionalized in our context, which confirm to the study, and finally interpret seek to understand the meaning and the implicit meanings productions, in terms of organization, classification and inferences arising from the outlined Movement, presenting results in the form of state of the art, pointing to the thematic areas emphases Mathematical Modeling, teaching/Learning of specific topics, Troubleshooting, teaching materials and teaching aids, Teacher Training, Ethnomathematics and Adult Education. The diversity of themes, the relationship with the local culture, as well as the connection between them begin to emerge as traits that mark the Research in Mathematics Education in Pará.
