Estratégias didático-metodológicas com GeoGebra para o ensino e a aprendizagem de quadrantes no plano cartesiano

Abstract

In elementary education, initial notions of the Cartesian plane start with identification of coordinate axes and the recognition that these divide planes into four quadrants. This initial understanding extends to notions related to position, location, and displacement in the Cartesian plane. Our objective was to propose didactic-methodological strategies to introduce Cartesian quadrants using GeoGebra. This qualitative study had an exploratory nature and was developed with middle-school teachers (6th to 9th grades) from public schools. GeoGebra was chosen because of features that contribute to building an understanding of the topic. The didactic-methodological strategies were standardised and detailed so that teachers and students would be guided throughout the activity.
