Abstract

The current study is part of an investigation project in progress that aims to analyze the treatments carried out on geometric figures, mainly quadrilaterals, when digital technology is used, such as the GeoGebra Dynamic Representation Environments. For this purpose, this study is founded on the Dynamic Figural Register. The qualitative methodology is emphasized to analyze the two activities described in this paper: The first one is based on the construction of an isosceles trapezoid and the operations that can be performed on its dynamic representation. The second is based on Varignon’s theorem, analyzing its dynamic reconfiguration and dimensional deconstruction. It is concluded that the dragging function of the GeoGebra environment favors the dynamic treatment of geometric figures and also allows interactive feedback.
