The present work aims to present a proposal for an approximate construction of the Mars movement, which generates for an observer on Earth a loop shape in relation to distant stars in the perspective of the Copernican system. For this, we will use the well-known GeoGebra software. Growing considerably, the software is always being updated and comes to gather forums and groups, counting on its platform a huge variety of activities for mathematics and science. Among the many possibilities, the model we choose will provide us with a scenario to think about the history of the ideas involved. We believe that through works of this type it is possible to promote a broader and interdisciplinary discussion on the concepts we use, going beyond the very brief cutouts presented in textbooks.
