摘要：This paper reports the results of research in which the objective was to explore the preconceptionsof slope in seventh-grade students. Preconceptions are understood as students´ knowledge priorto the formal teaching of a certain concept. For data collection, task-based interviews composedof ten tasks applied to 21 Mexican students were used. The data analysis was carried out using theThematic Analysis method. Results indicate that the students have several preconceptions in whichthey consider the slope as any of the following: an intersection with the X or Y-axis, an arithmeticoperation, a length, an object, a height, and something to do. These findings pose the challenge ofachieving conceptual changes from these preconceptions. In this sense, science education hasbeen the field most exploited in mathematics education; a collaboration between teachers andresearchers from both fields could contribute to finding strategies to face this challenge.
