This work was framed in the kind of quantitative and qualitative, with a design of mixed-source research. The survey technique for collecting information was used, direct observation through who could meet the objectives. Thus it can be concluded that the weaknesses of students in mathematics in solving exercises prioritize basic operations, raise forms of solution, then in understanding the statement of the problems and hence in the solution due to the same poor command of basic knowledge of mathematics and numbers and calculation skills. Their results allow propose strategies that lead to obtain a significant learning to overcome the difficulties in abstract concepts and their interpretation.
