| Resumo: | Considering that the teaching-learning of Mathematics benefits from establishing connections with the students’ reality and organizing itself around the resolution and discussion of challenging and motivating mathematical tasks, we believe that humour about Mathematics, especially graphic humour, has good conditions to fulfil these two aspects. Thus, in this conference, we propose to discuss: humour (in particular, graphic humour) and its social functions; humour in education and, in particular, in Mathematics and in Mathematics classes; conceptions and practices of Mathematics teachers on the use of humour in teaching the subject; and, potentialities of mathematical tasks that we have been drawing from strips and humorous cartoons about Mathematics.
