Computational thinking, or the problem-solving process driven by Computer Science concepts, has been acclaimed as a basic skill of the 21st century. In this context, several researches have been developed to insert computational thinking in schools. The objective of this work is to investigate the use of tools to support the teaching-learning of computational thinking in the national scenario. For this, a systematic mapping of the literature was carried out, using articles published in events and periodical of national relevance. For the analysis, 21 papers published between 2014 and 2017 were selected. The results of this mapping are: (a) the identification of the tools used; (b) what resources are required for the development of such tools, and (c) what benefits students have been reported in using the tools.
