description This article aims to problematize memorization in the teaching of Mathematics from the discourses arising from "psi" knowledge, as is the case with constructivism. Especially the statement that the student is a builder of knowledge and that the teacher should not offer something ready for the student to just memorize, did acquire strength and mobilized new strategies, such as the use of concrete materials in the teaching of Mathematics. Thus, some statements are produced or reinforced by these theories: “the student's prior knowledge must be considered”; “It is necessary to work with emotions in the classroom, replacing fear with the pleasure of learning”; “It is necessary to develop the different types of memory”, among others. The research material comprises 26 copies of the Revista Nova Escola, studied from the analysis of the discourse in a Foucauldian perspective.
