Abstract

This paper is the result of a study on characterizations of what has been understood as Algebraic Thinking in elementary and secondary schools. We present authors who are constant references in research on the theme, discussing the theoretical elements elaborated by them, bringing results and examples of the use of such notions in empirical investigations. We conclude by presenting our own understanding of Algebraic Thinking in elementary school, reflecting on when, how and why to develop classroom activities that aim its development by promoting skills that will later be required in more advanced mathematics topics.
