Abstract

This paper presents the design of a research project which aims to investigate how students learn quadrilaterals by using an approach in geometric constructions. The research is characterized as qualitative with aspects of a study case. The preparation of the pedagogical proposal is aligned with the insertion of mathematical research activities in the classroom.
