Abstract

GeoGebra is a dynamic math software for all educational levels that brings together geometry, algebra, spreadsheet, graphs, statistics and calculus into one easy-to-use program. This study focuses on how this resource can be used to improve the teaching of STEM in Engineering training, through a didactic proposal that follows a Context-Based Approach methodology, where the context is a real need for a company that can be translated to the Engineering classroom to implement good practices in STEM teaching. The specific purpose is that, based on specific observations, we need to show information about the density and height of clouds. For this we must calculate the points that define an area of clouds and find a polygonal representation of the surface that it occupies.
