This study is inserted in the context of scientific fairs and exhibitions and in the practice of teachers who teach Mathematics and who guide this work in basic education. Thus, our objective is to investigate the pedagogical practices of teachers who teach Mathematics at the 11th Scientific Initiation Exhibition in Pantanal. The guiding question of the research is: what are the pedagogical practices of teachers who teach Mathematics at the 11th Scientific Initiation Exhibition in the Pantanal? From a methodological perspective, we opted for a qualitative approach with the purpose of describing the contents and themes predominant in Mathematics work and identifying the pedagogical practices of the guiding teachers at the event. To do this, we analyzed 175 pre-projects sent by these teachers. The corpus of this study consisted of 33 studies selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, considering titles, objectives, introduction and development that explain some direction towards Mathematics. To analyze the data, we carried out a systematization through Content Analysis, according to the approaches of Bardin (1977) and Rodrigues (2019). This process resulted in the creation of 07 Registration Units, which were interconnected through agreements and disagreements, culminating in the structuring of three Analysis Categories: (i) Financial Education and Statistics; (ii) Ethnomathematics and Practical Application of Mathematical Contents; and (iii) Mathematical Modeling and Use of Digital Technologies. Data interpretation was conducted through a dialogic process, using concepts outlined by the theoretical foundations of the research, with the aim of acquiring an in-depth understanding of the object of study. In this way, we hope that the findings of this research promote the advancement of Mathematics teaching in Basic Education, encouraging innovation and reflection on methodologies that enable a pedagogical practice that is more adjusted to the demands of students.
