SUMMARY:

The constant changes in society have brought with them great technological advances. These advances embrace several sectors, such as entertainment, health and safety, exposing the need to introduce computational concepts even in the initial school phase to prepare all students for the professional future. One of the aspects in the school context is the lack of interest on the part of the students in relation to the subject of Mathematics, either because they do not understand their language in the classroom, or because they do not understand the application in the social context, that is, outside the school. The lack of understanding increases when the content is algebraic language, specifically algebra, as this branch of mathematics is very focused on the study of numbers and letters. In recent years a lot of research is being carried out in relation to mathematical reasoning, also called by many researchers Algebraic Thinking (AT), in Basic Education. There is also a lot of research in recent years that addresses Computational Thinking (CT), which refers to a form of reasoning focused on problem solving, like AT, but based on Computer Science fundamentals. However, few investigations address the relationship between CT and AT. When integrating CT into education, an interesting question is to investigate
whether its development by students also contributes to the learning of mathematics. The main objective of this investigation is to implement a didactic-pedagogical strategy in the process of developing CT in relation to algebra and AT in solving problems in mathematical contexts in the final years of elementary school, so that students can be effective and efficient. in the development of teaching-learning in relation to CT and AT. Didactic interventions will be carried out with elementary school students using the Scratch block programming platform to develop playful activities involving AT. The impact on students' learning will be evaluated through pre- and post-tests covering CT and the AT.
