In recent years, developments about cognitive processes have been serious impacts on the arrangements of the learning environments. This study examines the process whereby a sixth grader comes to possess knowledge of linear relationships, in a learning environment arranged with recent developments in mind. The study, which has a case study design, was conducted with the participation of a volunteering sixth grader, and two problems that allowed use of previously acquired knowledge and experience were employed. It was observed that the student used knowledge acquired in the first problem in the solution of subsequent problem, and that she could correctly abstract the knowledge of linear relationships at a certain level. The study finds that use of events and problems in the surrounding environment makes a significant contribution to learning linear relationship conception.
