Abstract
This article reports on a research project that focused on exploring the early forms of relating quantities in situations of variation exhibited by a sixth grade student. For this exploration, a case study approach was used, with a task-based Interview applied to collect data, and thematic analysis utilized to process the data. Relating quantities refers to characterizing and representing the changes of variables that vary among themselves. The early forms of relating quantities that emerged include variable identification, general recursion, correspondence, pre-coordination, and gross coordination of values. The correspondence relationship was the most frequently observed, while pre-coordination and gross coordination were the least common, suggesting that the latter could be studied in greater depth among young students.
