Abstract Mathematics has always been linked to the algorithms since the beginning ofthe emergence of algebra, with different denominations: algoritmia, algorism and finally algorithm, well adopted by computer scientists and programmers, by the demands and rigor with which he expresses this when poured into a precise, orderly and logical procedure would be in a language like C. the teaching of mathematics has focused on solutions and operational and algebraic procedures that do not require the differences, conditions, and interpretation of various solutions that may be in a mathematical model or a problem under certain characteristics of the source data. The theme of algorithmic thinking and mathematical thinking is separately being that mathematics can help a good development of algorithms and therefore a deep learning of mathematics. This essay tries to relate the two concepts, mathematics and algorithm as a collaborative system for learning mathematics and programming. The arguments are found in the best refer ences as Knuth, Turing, Von Neuman and Putman, hence the validity yet these classic gurus of mathematics and computer science, joined today for practice and teaching visual and descriptive languages such as PseInt, Scratch, C language among others. This essay is aimed at reflection in basic education, to strengthen all the initiatives that are being taken to support better development of mathematics and programming.
