Abstract

This Curricular Integration Work called GeoGebra as digital didactic material for the notions of shape and size in sub-level 2 of the "Alonso Torres" Early Education Center, Azogues-Ecuador, had the objective of developing a system of activities with GeoGebra for the teachers of the children's center. The research was based on constructivist theory, the Early Education Curriculum (2014) was taken as a reference to highlight the work of the teacher. Authors such as Zapata (2012), Sevilla (2017), among others who contributed to build knowledge about the use, importance and benefits of digital teaching materials for the teaching of mathematics in early childhood. About the methodology, it was based on an Action-Research of applied type, from the socio-critical paradigm with qualitative approach, since it was intended to seek solutions to educational problems through an intervention plan. Regarding the work procedure, the pertinent information was collected through the following techniques: semi-structured interview, focus group and documentary review, with the respective instruments: questions guide, animation guide and documentary review guide. Based on this, the educational intervention proposal called "GeoAventuras Matemáticas" was designed, which is composed of nine activities developed in the GeoGebra platform, four of which are intended for level 1 and five for level 2. Subsequently, the proposal was implemented and the result was that GeoGebra, being an innovative digital didactic material, contributed significantly to this educational level, since both teachers and children interacted positively, which favored the teaching-learning process of the notions of shape and size.
