In this article we present a study that aimed to investigate the processes of representation and understanding of operative invariants of the Conceptual Field of Affine Functions of two students of the Technical Course in Informatics of IFRS, Campus Erechim, through computer programming. The theoretical framework was based on the Conceptual Fields Theory of Gérard Vergnaud and the Constructionist Theory of Seymour Papert and collaborators. The research data were produced through the realization, by the students, of situations about Affine Functions with the Scratch environment, associated with the interactive observation method. As results, the research pointed to the concretization and dynamization of the concept of constant rate of change, besides enabling the elaboration of the Spiral of Conceptualization.
