The aim of this paper is to analyse the contributions that a teaching sequence, drawn up situations using manipulatives, can bring to the learning cube concepts and square in the Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA). The theoretical support used is the Theory of Conceptual Fields. A teaching sequence was applied to a group of 25 students from the third training period, EJA Axis VII in a Public School Middle in Brazil. Contributions to the learning of those involved were identified, such as: possibilities for changing student position as a learner; increased student motivation to participate in class; ease of identification of student difficulties; possibility of greater understanding of the concepts by the students; and, favoring the perception of differences and similarities between and in geometric shapes.
