Geogebra software applications for math education: an integrative review

Abstract

In the modern world, information and communication technologies are increasingly present in our daily lives. With this math teachers have been incorporating the use of software in their teaching practices, an example of this is the use of geogebra. In this context, this paper work aims to investigate the applications of geogebra software in mathematics teaching, identifying in which mathematics contents studied in basic education it can be worked and what the contributions of its use in the learning of these subjects. Therefore, an integrative literature review study was conducted, and nine articles related to this theme were selected and analyzed. The search for articles took place in the databases: Scielo, Periodicals Capes and Google Scholar. Among the criteria adopted for the choice of articles, its relationship with the objective of this research stands out. As a result we found the use of geogebra software in basic math-related content such as the study of fractions; in the area of algebra with functions, including the affine, quadratic and trigonometric function; as well as in the area of geometry, with the study of flat and spatial geometry. From the investigated research we conclude that the geogebra software potentiates the processes of teaching and learning of mathematics mainly regarding the interpretation of the graphic and algebraic properties of the studied content.
