The construction of Pedagogical Mathematical Knowledge is a fundamental element in the training process of teachers who will educate in the area. To that end, teachers in training must know in first term all that is related to the mathematical object in question, conceptual and procedural knowledge related to the subject of work, as well as the relevance of knowledge for the participants. Tied to these considerations, and understanding that the processes of teaching are by excellence processes of communication, the development of communicative competence for teachers throughout their academic training is considered a priority. Therefore, and in seeking alternatives to improve these processes of communication and construction of Pedagogical Mathematical Knowledge in the classroom, educational software emerge as a viable and feasible option in higher education teacher training centers. The intention of this article is to present items that need to be considered in the use of educational software involving communication and construction of Pedagogical Mathematical Knowledge, besides from being an input for reflection of the educational work in teacher’s training.
