This paper presents a proposal for continuing education within a group of studies. For this, was constituted a Group study was set up with 20 teachers who teach mathematics in Middle School (Elementary II) of the city's municipal teaching network from Cajazeiras/PB city, in 2017. The research aimed to identify the contributions that a group of studies may bring to mathematic teachers of Middle School (Elementary II) who intend to teach mathematics through Problem Solving. As a theoretical background for the current report, we adopted the Study Group in the context of teacher continuing education and Problem Solving as methodology. The research, of qualitative nature, was developed as collaborative research. The instruments used for data collection and treatment were audio and video recordings of the meetings, written records by the participants, the researcher's field diary, interviews and problems proposed by the researcher and the group members. We sought to develop a training proposal that contemplated the voice of the teachers and in consonance with the purpose of stimulating the collaboration, besides the cooperation in the group. We prepared a script of actions that would be for this proposal a common thread of the discussions, which occurred in two moments: an initial with readings and later discussion for theoretical deepening and another moment of work with mathematical concepts through problem solving, always supported by the Teaching-Learning-Assessment-Mathematics Methodology through Problem Solving. For this paper we bring one of the episodes of the ten meetings that happened during the research. The results of the research indicated that this methodology, worked in the study group, allowed the group to (re) building of some mathematical concepts when working from problems. It should be noted that teachers increased their mathematical knowledge and ability to relate the various contents to effective mathematics teaching. It was also observed that the meetings of the group were opportunities where they could discuss, collectively, supported by their peers, worries arising from their practice in search of understanding and possible transformation, through the sharing of knowledge and experiences. It should be noted that the collaborative position expected in the group has not reached its fullest, which is why limiting factors will be removed with the continuity of the group's actions.
