Aplicação do software geogebra no estudo dos quadriláteros notáveis

Abstract

The present work focuses firstly at a historical overview of geometry and a study of properties, elements, and definitions of notable quadrilaterals and presents the free software Geogebra. The focus of this research is in the study of notable quadrilaterals using Geogebra. In order to do that, it has been presented a proposal for solving notable quadrilaterals exercises using the software through a guide of resolution. The proposed activities were taken from textbooks of sixth to ninth years of elementary school where were performed several geometric constructions involving elements and properties of notable quadrilaterals. This study aims to integrate Information Technology with Mathematics as a way to encourage teachers to use different methodologies in mathematics classes, because GeoGebra is a software that provides accessible resources, which enables the student to contribute to his or her own construction in the teaching-learning process.
