ab: Summary: In this paper we describe an activity performed in the Laboratory
    of Mathematics Education within the frame of a program for prospective
    teachers. We start by considering the problem of the existing
    prospective teachers’ beliefs about the teaching of mathematics.
    These beliefs may act as a filter when facing the topics taught in the
    program. For this reason in the Laboratory we use history as a basic
    tool allowing to look at mathematical topics from a different point of
    view and to elaborate new beliefs.
