Abstract

This work reports the development and the emerging results of an investigative activity  prepared by a research group composed of professors, master’s students and scholarships. The data presented here come from a continuous teacher training program, held in a town of the Taquari Valley, in the second semester of 2017. The research group, in conjunction with the city government, proposed investigative exploratory activities, intending to integrate seventy teachers, who worked in the early years of elementary school, so that they could participate actively and learn about new methods of teaching. The data collection was based on the transcriptions of the audios recorded during the practice, as well as photos and annotations contained in the researchers’ field diaries. The analysis of the results indicate the emergence of two different conjectures to solve the assigned task. It was observed the importance of manipulative material to achieve the goal of finding the correct conjectures for the task.
