BALLEJO, Clarissa Coragem; ROCHA, Cristiane de Arimatéa  e  SOUZA, Antonio Carlos de. Intuitive understandings of arithmetic mean presented by 6th-grade students. Ensino em Re-Vista [online]. 2023, vol.30, e038.  Epub 22-Dez-2023. ISSN 1983-1730.  https://doi.org/10.14393/er-v30a2023-38.

This study aimed to analyze the response levels of 31 students attending the sixth grade of elementary school, enrolled in a private school in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The research is qualitative; data collection took place through students' registers made during the activity, based on their intuitive ideas, whose situations involving media used the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 sticker album as context. The results indicate that for the calculation of the arithmetic mean and its understanding, most students are at the multistructural response level. The students' answers revealed that, although this subject has not yet been addressed at school, they already have insights about the meaning of arithmetic mean.
