BEYOND BOOKS: A PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WITH GEOGEBRA IN THE TEACHING OF GEOMETRY FOR BASIC EDUCATION

Abstract

This article addresses an exploratory study that analyzes the resolution of geometry problems through the use of GeoGebra software. We explore the role of informatics as a pedagogical resource and the influence of digital media in education since the 1970s, framing our analysis in the theoretical lens of the construct "human-beings-with-media" (Borba; Souto; Canedo Junior, 2021). The main objective of the research was to investigate how the GeoGebra software can be used to solve geometric problems present in mathematics books. The research methodology used was the Exploratory Research because it allows the researcher to develop hypotheses, increase familiarity in a certain subject or intended study and clarify concepts (Marconi, 2008). The results revealed the effectiveness of the GeoGebra software, highlighting its potential to explore mathematical problems of geometry from the perspective of human-beings-with-media, thus expanding the possibilities of investigation in this field.
