A utilização do Geogebra no processo ensino-aprendizagem de frações no ensino fundamental: revisão teórico-prática

Abstract

Learning the concept of fractions in elementary education is one of the major challenges in mathematics education. The aim of this research was to analyze the potential and challenges of using GeoGebra software in the teaching-learning process of fractions at the elementary level. This study is a qualitative literature review based on the analysis of academic and scientific works published between 2021 and 2025. The results demonstrated that GeoGebra helps make the teaching of fractions more dynamic, visual, and interactive, fostering an understanding of the part-whole relationship, the development of logical reasoning, and meaningful learning regarding equivalent fractions. Furthermore, the use of GeoGebra enables greater student participation during mathematical activities, reducing rote practices and encouraging a more active stance in the learning process. However, the analyzed studies also highlighted challenges related to teachers' continuing education, limited school technological infrastructure, curricular rigidity, and a scarcity of teaching materials designed for the use of digital technologies. It is concluded that GeoGebra has the potential to contribute significantly to the teaching of fractions, provided its use is supported by adequate pedagogical and structural conditions within the school environment.
