Uso do GeoGebra para o ensino da função quadrática para alunos do primeiro ano do ensino médio

Abstract

The present article presents the results obtained in the application of a project focused on the use of the GeoGebra software in teaching quadratic functions to students in the 1st year of the Integrated Technical Course in Computing at Gercílio de Castro Macêdo School, an institution belonging to the state education network of Piauí, located in São Raimundo Nonato. Seeking to analyze the potential of the GeoGebra software for teaching and learning quadratic functions, the objectives include recognizing the importance of GeoGebra in teaching quadratic functions to first-year high school students; demonstrating the applicability of GeoGebra in teaching this function; evaluating student learning regarding quadratic functions using GeoGebra. The methodology used in the research was mixed, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of using the software, providing a practical and visual approach that made classes dynamic. The conclusion emphasizes the necessary balance between digital resources and traditional methods, reinforcing GeoGebra as an efficient pedagogical resource.
