GeoGebra Software as a tool for the construction and projection of prisms parallel to the projection planes

Abstract

This article is part of a study that aimed to demonstrate, using the GeoGebra software, the representation and projection of prisms in projection planes or in planes parallel to these, in a group of 40 students from Grade 11 in the option of Physical and Biological Sciences at Liceu do Bembe (Uíge-Angola). To achieve this objective, a bibliographical review was carried out in materials related to information and communication technologies in teaching, where concepts were extracted that served as prerequisites. In addition, through action research, activities were carried out in the institution's computer room using the GeoGebra software, with the questionnaire as the main instrument for data collection. From the results obtained and the students' satisfaction in the activities developed, it is concluded that the GeoGebra software is a practical and attractive resource that develops spatial visualization skills and can contribute to the teaching-learning process of Descriptive Geometry. Therefore, it is expected that, with this research, the GeoGebra software will be used as an ally of conventional means, as it enables the realization of practical activities, based on problem solving, making the student the protagonist of the learning process.
