Abstract

This research paper revolves around the need to learn polyhedral constructions. Students often do not realize that polyhedra are present in almost everything around them: microorganisms, minerals, architectural constructions and virtual reality objects. Currently, there is an accelerated process in the acquisition of digital skills worldwide, which can motivate and strengthen the meaningful learning of mathematics. For this reason, it is important that the teacher manages technological resources for the teaching of mathematics and thus awaken the student’s interest in learning. We consider GeoGebra free software as an excellent tool to develop digital and spatial skills in the student for the understanding and construction of polyhedra from previous geometric concepts. The objective of the research work is to propose a work methodology for the construction of new polyhedra from the regular hexahedron using GeoGebra, allowing students to explore 3D spaces.
