This dissertation presents the delineation of a research for Master's Degree involving students of the first year of High School, which has the objective of analyzing the potentialities of the software Scratch for the elaboration of learning objects in the construction process of functional relationships involving functions. This is a qualitative research. The activities developed deal with the idea of function, inverse function and Cartesian Plane and were dynamized with three groups of students at a school in the city of Santa Maria/RS. As theoretical support it was adopted the Theory of Conceptual Fields of Gerard Vergnaud and the Theory of Constructionism developed by Seymour Papert due to the important role for the study of cognitive functioning of the subjects- in-situation and the contribution of the computer in the comprehension of Mathematical concepts. In order to promote the construction of functional relationships, activities have been planned with the use of the Scratch software, allowing the student to perform several trials involving concepts of function. The results show that the use of the Scratch for learning functions enables students to make deductions, anticipations, control results, conclusions, assisting in the formalization and abstraction of these concepts, when inserted into an environment of resolution of situations and research.
