Abstract

This paper is in line with the critical thinking and reflection process on the role of mathematical modelling with the use of technology in mathematics education. After some considerations about the teaching - learning of Geometry in Italian secondary schools, the paper will illustrate a practical, coherent example of a classroom activity. Starting from a real object, the activity develops into mathematical modelling - that explores meaningful properties and concepts - which allows the simulation of a computer prototype in the dynamic geometry environment GeoGebra.
