This study investigates obstacles to learning that students of the Youth and Adult Education reveal in the study of fractions. This is a qualitative research with analysis of the activities addressed to a sample of four students of high school 2nd grade students of a public school. The study proposed to discover learning obstacles that students have in relation to such content. The theoretical basis of this research follows the assumption of the Theory of Didactic Situations. The procedures of the study sought to design and implement an instructional sequence in order to answer the research question that is whether and to what extent an instructional sequence, whose preparation takes into account the specificities of students of the Youth and Adult Education, contribute to diagnosis obstacles to the construction of conceptions part-whole and operators, related to fractions. The sequence was organized with three activities that consist of similar problems and applied in three consecutive sessions. The results indicate that the sequence of activities applied in the classroom contributed to that were diagnosed pedagogical and epistemological obstacles concerning to the study of fractions which were revealed in learning situations. The data collected showed that although the subjects are young and adults students who, in their experiences, deal with the fractions and their representations, and the content is treated in all previous series, they recognize a fraction, but not understand the concept, representation and conceptions
