• Abstract:

  This report presents an application, and contributions, of the GeoGebra software  in the teaching and learning of quadratic functions, in a school of the State Public Education Network of Bahia, in the year 2022. Guided by the question: How can GeoGebra be used in the construction of graphs of quadratic functions? the project used digital technologies in pedagogical mediation to make student-knowledge interaction effective, based mainly on Papert's constructionism, and on the guidelines of the BNCC  (BRASIL, 2022), for which it used guided investigative activities, providing new means of learning related to the construction of graphs of quadratic functions. The results obtained showed that the use of GeoGebra software is effective for teaching and learning mathematics because, in addition to specific learning, it aroused students' interest, active participation, motivation and curiosity.
