Résumé
Based on a microgenetic analysis of the generalization process of three fourth grade students, we describe how they construct, make sense of and express a functional relationship in a problem-solving context. The results contribute to the understanding and reflection on the implementation of the functional approach in primary classrooms. Different degrees of sophistication in the generalization process are distinguished according to the semiotic means employed. One of the students explicitly expresses generalization while in the other two cases it is implicit in the students' actions suggesting an incipient awareness of indeterminacy or presence of analyticity.
