An experience with Desmos in the study of the quadratic function

Abstract

In this paper we present a didactic experience in the subject of Mathematics carried out in a distance learning context, on the topic Quadratic Function, using the digital and free platform Desmos. The use of this tool was determinant for the teaching and learning of quadratic function since its teaching took place in distance education, due to the pandemic situation. In a pandemic context, the use of tools to gauge student learning was a necessity, but practices such as the one described in this paper should be incorporated into a normal classroom environment, promoting discovery through graphical and algebraic manipulation.
