Uma proposta pedagógica para o ensino do teorema de Pitágoras com o auxílio do software geogebra.

Abstract

Initially this work presents in its first part a brief historical account of Pythagoras, a figure that illustrates in a primitive way the advance of mathematics in ancient Greece. It is mentioned in this study the great impact of the discovery of the irrational numbers, represented by the square root of 2 and other discovered values. The second part highlights the importance of ICTs in education. A discussion on the introduction of ICTs was mainly based on mathematical education using software. With emphasis on the application of ICTs, the third part proposes an activity that is used as a source of understanding for the Pythagorean theorem. This is a simple proposal, but a great help for understanding the concept. GeoGebra software is used to produce the proposed activity. With the utility, the validity of the Pythagorean theorem is shown and tested by moving the vertex of the triangle built in GeoGebra software.
