Mathematics taught at school implies mainly in developing the mathematical thinking and the student s skills. These two items are necessary for the comprehension of different situations, including, those from the daily life and also, for support as a tool to other fields of knowledge. It is observed that since Elementary School, Mathematics is shown as an area where students have learning difficulties. Thus, the purpose of this research was to do a study and a diagnosis in respect to the power operation with 9th and 10th graders from a state school in São Paulo. For such, a study was done about the mistake and its importance in the teaching-learning process. It is a descriptive research, quanti-qualitative with the construction of a diagnosis about the students mistakes referring to the power operation, classifying and interpreting them. The theoretical foundation was based on the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (1999) in the Register of Semiotic Representation from Duval (2003) and in the mistake studies from Cury (2007) The result of the analysis from the students answers indicated that, a great amount of the students does not know the power concept and as a result many understand the power operation as multiplication. Therefore, many facts aggravate the mistake in relation to this topic. The most important factors were the power cases that involved whole negative numbers and fractionary exponents. Categories were created for the analyzed mistakes. Zero also constitutes in a great mistake cause, manly, when it is an exponent because the student does not realize the convention in the right way. As for the exponent 1, it is perceived that the same problem appears in relation to the Mathematical convention, it is also observed that the student does not know how to justify it correctly
