• Abstract:

  With the growing importance of Digital Information and Communication Technologies in the educational context, the use of technological tools to contextualize mathematical contents and for reflective and meaningful learning becomes essential. In this context, this study investigated the use of GeoGebra software as a didactic support to help teach tiling. The research was carried out with a second-year class of the Technical Administration course at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Maranhão - Barra do Corda Campus, during the second half of 2022. Four moments were carried out, one theoretical in the classroom and three practical ones in the computer lab and in the school yard, with construction activities, analysis and understanding of the tiling study using the GeoGebra software. The results showed the students' interest and excitement in the proposed activities, which were able to promote a contextualized and reflective study, associating theoretical and practical teaching. In addition, the use of this technological tool can meet the individual needs of each student, making classes more dynamic and interesting.
