Computational Thinking (CP) is a mathematical ability recognized in the specialty literature as essential in the problem-solving process. In this article we present a proposal to develop CP in the 4th year of primary school, through the Exploratory Teaching model. Three sessions were implemented, with the aim of developing the students' CP and overcoming their difficulties in interpersonal relationships. During the sessions, planned based on this teaching model, students collaboratively solved tasks involving mathematical concepts, such as spatial orientation, collection, organization and analysis of data and the interpretation and modeling of situations with multiplication in the combinatorial sense. These sessions promoted the incorporation of tasks that allowed the development of the five dimensions of CP and overcoming difficulties in interpersonal relationships, in addition to contributing to the deepening of the mathematical knowledge.
