Abstract
In 2005, the first edition of one of the most prominent Brazilian Olympiads took place, covering millions of students each year, the OBMEP (Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad of Public Schools) promoted by the Ministry of Education (MEC) and the Ministry of Education (MCT) with the support of the Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA) and the Brazilian Society of Mathematics (SBM), which are responsible for its organization and direction, with the main objectives being to stimulate the study of mathematics, the improvement of teaching in all countries, the improvement and professional appreciation of teachers, among other factors. In this sense, this study aimed to analyze the main characteristics of this Olympiad, emphasizing the results obtained by a city in the interior of the Northeast, Paulista-PB, during the first ten editions of OBMEP, since, in recent years, students from São Paulo achieved a great highlight in the Brazilian media, due to the awards that have surpassed other economically more developed cities in the state. Interviews were conducted with 03 (three) students who obtained awards in this Olympics, and also with the teacher representing the OBMEP in the city, with the purpose of obtaining information regarding the preparatory studies of the students for the accomplishment of the same, besides the collection and verification of data obtained during some issues of OBMEP in Paulista-PB. There was a great change in the elaboration of the mathematics classes, which became more practical and related to the students' daily life, in addition, the extracurricular projects contributed to the dedication and success of the students in these mathematical competitions.
