Developing Applets in Geogebra Software

Abstract

In Mathematics, applets, in general, allow the user to investigate, make and test conjectures, which may contribute to the learning of different subjects. For that reason, this article emphasizes the importance of elaborating and modifying applets in Dynamic Geometry environments by Mathematics teachers, in order to contemplate the particularities of their educational reality. Therefore, this study aims to help teachers learn how to develop and modify applets using GeoGebra software. This is a free Dynamic Geometry program which allows teachers to develop applets in a simple way, and to consider different aspects related to the subject and the needs of their students.
