Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to stress the role of GeoGebra as a methodological resource. In particular, we contend that teachers need to become aware that a appropriate integration of GeoGebra within the classroom activities could foster the construction of mathematical knowledge. As a consequence, educators need to guide teachers to perceive GeoGebra as a methodological resource so that they would be able to effectively use it. As a theoretical framework we mainly refer to the “instrumental approach” and to the idea of “mathematics laboratory as a Renaissance workshop”.
