Implementation of software geogebra on triangles

Abstract

Mathematics teaching is a learning process gives an understanding of mathematical concepts for students. The basic concepts of mathematics must be embedded well in each student so that understanding concepts at an advanced level can be easily mastered. Mathematics teachers play an important role regarding the problems faced by students when learning mathematics in class. A math teacher in addition to having the ability to master mathematical concepts well, is also required the ability to manage the class so that students can understand the concept well and learning achievement is in the high category. Mathematics is a subject consisting of great ideas that are connected to each other so that understanding cannot be separated because each concept will contribute to the other concepts. Most students still say that mathematics is a difficult and uninteresting lesson, therefore, a teacher needs to apply specific strategies used in the mathematics learning process so that it can change students’ perceptions of mathematics into an interesting and easy lesson. The use of technology can help teachers and students learn mathematics, for example the use of GeoGebra software. GeoGebra software has the benefit of being able to make geometric paintings that are fast and precise compared to using paper and pencil and the existence of animation facilities provides a clear visual experience for students and teachers. One of the geometry concepts is to construct a flat triangle, in this study the discussion is to determine the special lines on the triangle using GeoGebra software and then determine the intersection of the special lines of the triangle.
