Abstract

The cognitive action carried out by the student when making use of mathematical concepts in contexts other than the one learned implies the reconstruction of them. This action represents a major difficulty faced by students. The concepts of ratio and proportion were worked on, through a teaching sequence, with a sample of 35 first-semester high school students in Mexico City, which allowed observing the reconstruction of their schemes, supported by the theoretical framework of Reflexive Abstraction. proposed by Piaget. The students were able to argue the solution strategies used in solving problems, which resulted in the modification of their actions.
