This research stems from concerns about the teaching of the irrational numbers in the fourth year of secondary school. The students expressed dissatisfaction during learning of this numeric field and the ignorance of these numbers after having given its teaching encouraged to designing a didactical proposal based on an historical approach. The intent was to characterize how students from the action and reflection build their own knowledge through this approach. Also we interested to recognize favorable and unfavorable aspects of the experience. The theory of reference was delimited from four perspectives: historical, educational, mathematical and curricular, which in turn served as methodological support. Information gathered from classroom observations, student productions and teacher records were analyzed. The findings suggest that learning the irrational numbers through an historical approach contributes to learning.
