Approaches to Teaching Arithmetic Progressions using smartphones and Applets in GeoGebra
Teaching, GeoGebra, algebraic patterns, figurative elements, arithmetic progressions
This work presents an educational proposal that considers the teaching and learning process of algebra, in particular, arithmetic progressions, through a perspective of sensory influence. To this end, we use Geogebra software to create a set of learning objects (applets) that, based on the principle of dynamics, allow us to establish a cognitive structure that can lead to the understanding of algebraic patterns linked to numerical sequences in arithmetic progression. These patterns are expressed as figurative/geometric elements, dynamized by movement and visual elements of didactic persuasion. Digital objects created in Geogebra constitute educational products that are presented as results of this work.
