The present work aims to analyze the textbook images as potential resources for the teaching and learning process of geographic education, from the foundations of a geographic education based on the problematization of a geographic situation. Considering that all schools in the state school system of Porto Nacional - TO are using the same textbooks, the research cut was the didactic collection of Geography of the Final Years of Elementary School - PNLD 2020 - chosen and used by the same schools. The theoretical discussion that underlies the research is supported by the debate about the textbook and the teaching of Geography from dialogues with the BNCC, which is the guiding document not only of the state curricula but also of the teaching materials. The work also presents a reflection on the use of images to understand the geographic space and the potential they have for geographic learning based on the idea of events in a geographic situation. They were chosen for the empirical work, and are presented in this article, the photographic images of the 6th grade textbook. The theoretical foundation of the work is guided by the reflections of Santos (1996, 2013, 2017) on the meaning of event to understand the geographic space and the contribution of Silveira (1993, 1999, 2004, 2006) to think about the geographic situation as a totality of an event to be studied.
