ABSTRACT. This paper describes a long term teaching experiment carried out with students from the 9th–10th grades. Geometrical constructions in the Cabri environment were selected as a specific field of experience, within which the sense of theory may emerge. The idea of construction constitutes the key to accessing the idea of theorem, moving from a generic idea of justification towards the idea of validating within a geometrical system. The study aims at clarifying the role of the Cabri environment in this teachinglearning processes: analysis of protocols shows the possible evolution of a justification into a proof but at the same time indicates that this evolution is not expected to be simple and spontaneous.
