SUMMARY:

The present qualitative study sought to investigate which strategies are mobilized by students in the 5th year of elementary school when they are solving sharing problems with a relation and their relations with the characteristics of algebraic thinking. This work is based on the research of Silva, Saviole and Passos (2015), Santos and Moreira (2016), Silva and Saviole (2014) and on the considerations brought in official documents such as the BNCC (2018) and the curriculum of Pernambuco (2019) . For the development of our study, we took as basis the studies by Oliveira and Câmara (2011) who were able to identify that the study subjects mobilized elements of algebraic thinking, and at the same time were able to identify five basic strategies used in the resolution, which we use in our work. And the study by Almeida (2016), in which he used characteristics of algebraic thinking to develop his thesis, characteristics that we also take as the basis of our study. Seeking to answer the research question, the following general objective was elaborated: to identify the strategies mobilized by students of the 5th year of elementary school when solving sharing problems with a relationship with the characteristics of algebraic thinking. Our study was developed with students of the 5th year of elementary education at a school in the municipal education network in the city of Passira, consisting of 28 subjects. For the production of our data, the class was organized in pairs, composing 14 pairs. The production of data was carried out from the application of a test composed of four problems, and a clinical interview. The application of the test and the interview were both carried out by the researcher. After the production and analysis of the data, it was possible to identify in general that the students adopted the strategies "divide by 2" and "total as a source" as being the most used by the students. The “algebraic” strategy did not have any pair that used it. With regard to performance, only two pairs answered two questions correctly using the “attribute value” strategy, one problem each pair. When analyzing the correct answers, we noticed that the students were able to mobilize three of the five characteristics of algebraic thinking, the ability to: “establish relationships”, “model” and “construct meaning”. Even the research pointing to the importance of algebra in the early years, the official documents guiding the development of algebraic thinking since the early years of elementary school, it was possible to verify that the students in our study had great difficulty in solving algebraic problems of the type shares with a relationship, with that we leave it as a question for further research: how to elaborate a sequence of activities that lead students to think algebraically?
