CURVAS DE NÍVEL: UM RECURSO GRÁFICO UTILIZANDO O SOFTWARE GEOGEBRA

Abstract

This work proposes to show the Level Curves by means of a mathematical software, Geo Gebra, as a graphic resource to be used in the classroom, thus creating new teaching techniques and showing its applicability in daily life. We are based on an experience report developed at the State School Maria Benedita Velozo in the municipality of Orizona - Goiás, where mini-courses were developed during the Mathematics Week and thus developed this work. These mini-courses were taught by professors of the institution and by some invited students of the Mathematics Degree course at Instituto Federal Goiano - Campus Urutaí, in the midst of the institution's mathematics week, where it was decided to take something different from the traditional school reality of the students , then the Level Curves minicourse is applied.However, the activities were carried out in three days for all students of the institution that has only high school, an activity that is described in this as the construction of Level Curves. This interdisciplinary theme helps us in the study of functions and geometry because, when you have a function that generates a graph in three dimensions (3D), the Level Curves as a mathematical resource allows you to display this fully sectioned graph, where a new form graph that can be represented in the dimensional plane (2D), thus making a relationship between mathematical techniques and mathematical resources in multimedia, in addition to bringing the student a greater understanding of the study in question through various graphs. level has a wealth of studies to be worked on, geometry, elementary mathematics and an example are the cuts in three-dimensional figures, where students are improving their spatial vision, because three-dimensional models are worked across the curriculum, especially in high school . In this work, we use the GeoGebra software as a didactic resource, a very effective mathematical application because in it the student can more easily understand how the 3D figures are, since this resource projects the images in their real form facilitating the perception of the figures. Being linked to the new technologies that help us in our daily school life is an attractive and engaging way of providing students with new ways to learn mathematics out of their chalk and chalk routine and using all technology in our favor, thus making our methodology diverse and effective.
