GeoGebra as a resource for teaching geometry to second grade students El GeoGebra como recurso en la enseñanza de la geometría en estudiantes de segundo grado

Abstract

The objective of this article is to reinforce the teaching of Geometry mediated with the GeoGebra tool in the second grade of the Julio Pérez Ferrero Educational Institution in the municipality of Cúcuta. Therefore, the role of Vigotsky's social interaction, as a theoretical approach that will support the study, is of vital importance. The methodology is Action Research. The results of the diagnosis show in the students' answers that the most important deficiencies are in the identification of three-dimensional geometric figures. Additionally, problems were identified in recognizing rectangles and circles, curved and straight lines in a plane, deficiencies in the use of technological means, the scarcity of concrete materials and aversion to mathematics subjects. These elements allowed the design of four didactic units on geometry topics with the mediation of the GeoGebra tool. The results of the implementation were positive, because the children demonstrated a strengthening of geometric contents. It is concluded that the tool used allowed a positive interaction of the students and provided new opportunities to learn the contents associated with geometry.
