GeoGebra y la determinación de centros de gravedad de polígonos

Abstract

GeoGebra is a software that supports the learning processes of mathematics. The purpose of the research is to ratify the versatility of this software in order to show how the practical processes can be emulated in active models that enhance the learning and understanding of mathematics. Moreover, it has been possible to systematize a process by which the determination of a center of gravity of an irregular body can be achieved starting from the triangulation of an irregular geometric figure with triangles. Then, determine the barycentres of each of the triangles, to then go calculating the center of gravity of the figures that result from incorporating the triangles until completing the proposed figure. Consequently, GeoGebra is a software that allows to do these simulations in a practical and dynamic way since a real construction, allowing these mathematical concepts to be assimilated by the students in their uniqueness.
