SUMMARY

This article portrays part of a supervised pedagogical intervention project developed in a 4th grade class. This project sought to understand the potential of using Scratch in the learning of Mathematics. For this purpose, a qualitative case study methodology was adopted. In the interventions, tasks were proposed to the students, using the Scratch, which aimed to explore the concept of angle, through the mobilization of knowledge and its transposition to practical situations. In this work, the proposed tasks will be briefly described, highlighting the last one, which consisted of the construction of a presentation in Scratch for the community.
