Several researches argue that the History of Mathematics is a didactic resource that can contribute both to teacher training and to student training, in terms of understanding the content and Mathematics itself, among other aspects. However, even with such evidence, as a didactic resource, it is little explored in teacher training, with more emphasis on reflection on historical aspects. Moreover, even if such subjects have an interest in exploring it in their classes, they are faced with a lack of historical material, didactic orientations, suggestions of classes, among many elements that contribute to this resource not being explored. In this way, the present article aims to indicate a way to make cuts of historical episodes, taking into consideration a reflection on the teaching knowledge, which, a posteriori, can be used in the classroom. For this, this proposal is presented, through an exemplification: a cut of historical episodes about non-Euclidean geometries; making it possible to systematize the proposal.
