Integrating extension, teaching, and research practices has become a constitutive element in teacher education, being part of the process of (re)signification of knowledge for teaching within the scope of the Study and Research Group in Mathematics Education of Espírito Santo. In this sense, we present reflections arising from four formative processes in initial or continuing teacher education courses based on the theoretical perspective of mathematics for teaching through a research and formative methodology called concept study. To enable participants to develop mathematics for teaching, through the investigation of some mathematical concepts, the knowledge that emerges from teaching practice and the participants' experiences was valued, based on collective discussion. In a qualitative line, the data produced and analyzed indicate that the actions developed contributed to a movement of (re)signification of the mathematical concepts addressed, expanding knowledge of teaching practice. Thus, these contexts of teacher education show a possibility of a favorable path for diverse learning to occur and be spaces for professional recognition and appreciation of teachers and prospective teachers.
