Explorando Atividade Investigativa por meio do Software Geogebra na Aprendizagem de Função Quadrática

Abstract

The present work is a study under the gaze of Mathematical Research through Geogebra software. Its main objective was to analyze the contributions of Mathematical Research through Geogebra software in the learning of quadratic function, in a class of the 9th year of elementary school, since the students elaborated conjectures when exploring investigative task. As a theoretical contribution, this research was conducted by the authors Magalhães and Varizo (2016), Ponte, Brocardo and Oliveira (2020) and Soares (2021), who analyzed and discussed the foundations that enrich and strengthen Mathematical Research as a trend of mathematical education The methodological procedures are based on the qualitative approach, the data were collected from the participant observation, field diary and questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was adopted for data analysis. The results indicate that the investigative tasks through Geogebra have the potential to stimulate the students' learning, since they were able to express the sequence through square roots, 1st degree function and quadratic function. Therefore, this teaching methodology can help both the teacher and the student, considering that it helps the teacher to explore dynamic classes and encourages the student to produce knowledge actively.
