Abstract (English): Introduction. In this document we stress the importance of developing in children a structure for advanced numerical-algebraic thinking that can provide an element of control when solving mathematical situations. We analyze pupils' conceptions that induce errors in algebra due to a lack of control in connection with their numerical thinking. We offer a detailed critique of a research group who promote the movement of introducing algebra in primary school ("Early Algebra"). Method. In this collaborative research, we show how to promote advanced numericalalgebraic thinking through experimentation with certain activities (problem situations) in two groups of secondary students (grade 9), with 24 and 36 students, respectively. We use a specific methodology for collaborative learning, scientific debate and self-reflection (ACODESA methodology). Results. The pupils in this study constructed covariational reasoning as a prelude to the function concept. They also developed control elements that helped them in the process of solving problem situations. Discussion. Numerical reasoning is essential to giving meaning to the syntactic processes that, if manipulated or conceived of incurrectly, can lead to an error in a given situation. Advanced numerical-algebraic thinking helps us develop sensitivity to contradiction, enabling us to detect error. We believe that working with manipulative materials and producing functional representations that can evolve into institutional ones, and using collaborative learning with scientific debate and self-reflective reasoning (ACODESA methodology), can help pupils to more easily retain their mathematical concepts over time.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción. En este documento enfatizamos la importancia de desarrollar en los niños un pensamiento numérico-algebraico avanzado, que pueda proporcionar un elemento de control en los procesos de resolución de situaciones matemáticas. Se analizan concepciones de algunos alumnos que los induce a cometer errores en álgebra, por una falta de control por no recibir apoyo de su pensamiento numérico. Hacemos una crítica puntual a un grupo de investigación que se identifica con el movimiento acerca de la introducción del álgebra en la escuela primaria ("Early Algebra"). Método. En esta investigación, en colaboración, mostramos que es factible promover un pensamiento numérico-algebraico avanzado, en una experimentación de actividades (situaciones problema) con dos grupos de secundaria (grado 9), respectivamente con 24 y 36 alumnos, utilizando una metodología específica sobre aprendizaje en colaboración, debate científico y auto-reflexión (metodología ACODESA). Resultados. Los alumnos en este estudio, lograron construir el concepto de covariación como preludio al concepto de función, y desarrollar elementos de control que les sirvió en la resolución de las situaciones problema propuestas en esta experimentación. Conclusiones. El pensamiento numérico es esencial para proporcionar a los alumnos significados sobre sus procesos sintácticos que, por una mala manipulación o por una concepción, en una situación dada, puede guiarlos a error. El pensamiento numérico-algebraico avanzado, nos ayuda en el desarrollo de una sensibilidad a la contradicción para detectar el error. El trabajo con materiales, un aprendizaje colaborativo, debate científico y auto-reflexión (metodología ACODESA) permite una construcción más sólida de los conceptos matemáticos y posiblemente proporcionará una mayor retención de esos conceptos a largo plazo.
