This article presents a proposal for a teaching activity whose main objective is to address the concept of number with a view to the development of algebraic thinking in the early years of elementary school, from the theoretical perspective of the Historical-Cultural Theory and the Guiding Activity of Teaching. The teaching activity reported in this work was developed based on the children's literature “And the tooth still hurting” by Ana Terra and the didactic material known as the “Cuisenaire scale”. The proposal refers to the concept of number and the development of algebraic thinking, the teaching actions exposed can be explored as students of the 1st and 2nd year of elementary school. It is intended to dialogue about the teaching of algebra in the early years of elementary school and elucidate issues related to the development of algebraic thinking in this stage of schooling. It is concluded that for learning to occur, it must have meaning for the student, being suitable for those who are intended to be taught. Thus the development of algebraic thinking becomes possible, from the early years of elementary school, as long as it is properly organized.
