Through a culture of cooperation, it was intended to diversify profiles and skills, using integrated forms of dynamization, expanding the places of learning, which enabled a collection of data for the construction, planning and structuring of a didactic in art education, which focuses on the interrelated learning of mathematics and music. An action-research methodology was adapted, through pedagogical strategies complemented with the realization of theatre, visual arts and music performances, which allowed to enhance skills and competences in the motor and cognitive domains. The didactic proposal consisted of the elaboration of structured mathematical exercises with elements of musical language, which aimed to achieve transformative learning.
