Este texto incide sobre o tema do pensamento algébrico nos primeiros anos de escolaridade ao nível da formação contínua de professores. Na abordagem apresentada o tema dos padrões surge como contexto estruturante para o desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico. Começa-se por fazer um enquadramento dos referenciais teóricos que fundamentam a adoção de uma proposta didática desenvolvida nesse âmbito, recorrendo em seguida a um estudo empírico que foi desenvolvido, do qual se relata aqui uma parte centrada nas práticas de sala de aula de uma professora do primeiro ciclo em formação, de modo a poder confirmar a eficácia da proposta no ensino e desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico dos alunos. Os resultados permitem concluir que a professora interiorizou e projetou na sua prática os aspetos essenciais que conduziram ao desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico nos alunos. O texto termina com algumas conclusões e implicações para a formação de professores.Downloads
