All the participants attended the 4^th grade of the Elementary in a private school. The data collection was done by means of three matches of the Traverse game, played between each participant and the experimenter. The data has been analyzed in a piagetian perspective, according to the categories of behavior presented by the participants in the game and the levels of dialectic construction considered.
