O uso de applets do geogebra : uma aplicação para o ensino de tronco de pirâmide e de cone

Abstract

The present course conclusion paper presents the description and results of the exploratory qualitative research, carried out from the application of an unprecedented class, with students of a pre-vestibular course with the objective of investigating the advantages of the use of GeoGebra allied with activity based on problem solving in the teaching of pyramid trunk and cone, through an unprecedented teaching practice. We sought to identify the potentialities for the teaching-learning process of the use of Digital Technologies, more specifically the GeoGebra software, reconciled with contextualized problems in teaching the contents of Spatial Geometry: trunk of pyramids and trunk of cones. To implement this teaching proposal, research was carried out in GeoGebra applets to find activities related to the theme and select contextualized problems to solve with students. In turn, students used mobile phones and tablets to perform GeoGebra applets in the classroom and perform the proposed activities. From this class, data were collected that were analyzed and reported in this study, where it was possible to observe the potentialities of GeoGebra in the teaching of Spatial Geometry, the data also pointed to the lack of contact of students with the use of TD. It was possible to conclude the importance of applying new methodologies in the classroom, highlighting that the importance of bringing Digital Technologies to the classroom and motivating students was identified.
