Abstract

This paper presents an online learning experience with the use of the GeoGebra Classroom, which occurred during the first period of confinement in Portugal, from March to June 2020, caused by the pandemic of COVID19. In addition to the researchers, two classes of 7th year of elementary school, of a secondary school participate in this study. Briefly, the characteristics inherent to the GeoGebra Classroom ecosystem are presented, describing the materials built and applied in the online class. The teaching and learning content focused on the construction and properties of the quadrilaterals. We will also analyze the course of the teaching experience carried out, reflecting on the virtuality’s of this online approach, comparing it with other classroom teaching situations. Finally, the results of this teaching experience will be discussed, pointing out its strengths and weaknesses, outlining some aspects to be taken care of in the development of similar future experiences.
