Letramento digital: Geogebra e Scratch na matemática do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

The work presented made use of bibliographical and documental methodology. The general objective was to present the didactic potential of the GeoGebra and Scratch software linked to the discipline of Mathematics in Elementary School and the specific ones were to study the mathematical abilities and competences of Elementary School according to the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and to analyze and discuss the didactic contributions of the software GeoGebra and Scratch for the development of elementary school mathematical skills and competences. This choice is justified by the fact that digital information and communication technologies (TDIC) are valuable tools that help students understand the content, develop logical reasoning and computational thinking. In addition, they allow studying different ways of meaningful learning with dynamism and enthusiasm and having the pleasure of learning through games, quizzes, stories, characters and other forms of applications with autonomy and the teacher's mediation. In this sense, the use of software can be useful for teaching mathematics, especially to Elementary School students, as they are students who have less contact with software in pedagogical activities. The results obtained from this work are based on studies already carried out that prove the potential of using software for learning mathematics in Elementary School. Students yield and produce more when they are in contact with digital technologies and use them significantly in mathematics, making practical, dynamic and viable teaching possible. We believe that the work should influence the way in which the contemporary teacher should conduct mathematics classes, associating them with Digital Information and Communication Technologies – DICT
