Resum

Realizou-se um estudo transversal desde o 5º ano do Ensino Básico ao 4º ano do Ensino Secundário, no qual se analisam os níveis de sucesso e raciocínios dos alunos em tarefas de comparação de frações, comparação de números decimais e representação de frações e decimais na reta numérica. Nosso estudo fornece evidências do uso de diferentes incorretos raciocínios inferidos em estudos quantitativos e fornece informações sobre como eles evoluem. Os resultados mostram que, embora o raciocínio focado no uso do conhecimento do número natural tenha diminuído, outros raciocínios incorretos aparecem nesse tipo de atividade.
