The objective of this research is to contribute to the understanding of how the process of incorporation of subjects related to Combinatory , Probability and Statistics on Basic Education and the relations of this curricular inovation with the process of continuous teachers formation. In our research we were looking for the methods triangulation, that is, the use of procedures like the observation of a continuated formation course, interwiews and observation of four teachers classes , who made part of this formation , in classes of Fundamental and Medium teaching . Our study reveals that, generally, these teachers don t think these concepts viables to Fundamental teaching and even to Medium teaching; they present some resistence , by not dominate these concepts; they consider these concepts weren t foreseen by the proposals. To Fundamental teaching ; they affirm not having knowledge of PCN s proposal, for the Combinatory, Probability and Statistics teaching and declare they didn t studies these subjects in graduation course. In accordance with the continuated formation course , we verify that the lack of more consistent discussions related to the teaching practice of these subjects in classroom and the little time reserved to the subject s development , made this contribution insufficient to the practice of proposals to these subjects teaching , in order to making possible pupils good learning.
