Problem solving is considered a powerful tool for learning in the 21st century; it is one of the aspects of mathematics teaching in primary education that contributes most to intellectual development, knowledge and mathematical power.This article aims to address the importance of the use of identity in the rural environment for the development of the ability to solve mathematical problems in students of second cycle multigrade groups in the territory of La Tabla, in the municipality of Tercer Frente.For this purpose, it is proposed the elaboration of problems that constitute a methodological way of great importance for the achievement of the proposed purposes, related to the political, economic and social development of the rural community of La Tabla. Methods of the theoretical, empirical and mathematical levels were used, which showed that the proposed problems were varied and motivating. It was achieved that they were useful not only for the fixation of mathematical knowledge and power, but also to acquire new knowledge, to form feelings, judgments and evaluations in the students, to provide skills to cope in today's life and the development of their critical thinking.
