GEOGEBRA
Technological advances have entered into many areas of life,
ranging from education, economics, business, industry, health, and others.
Especially in the field of education, the manufacture of teaching materials,
research simulations, data visualization, and others can be done by
utilizing technological advances, for example by using computers.
Computers are products of sophisticated technology to make it easier for
humans to do their jobs. Through the use of computers, work becomes
more effective, efficient, and has better measurement accuracy than
manually. In geometry mathematics learning, there are application
programs that can be used to overcome the less accurate depiction of
mathematical objects, complex calculations and spend a lot of time, and
monotonous learning media, one of which is by using geogebra software.
GeoGebra is a free software based on mathematics learning
developed by Markus Hohenwarter from Austria. Geogebra is a computer
program to teach mathematics, especially geometry and algebra
(Hohenwarter, 2008). Meanwhile, Syahbana (2016: 2) says that the
geogebra program is a dynamic program that has facilities to visualize or
demonstrate mathematical concepts. According to (Yuliardi, 2013), a
number of studies have shown that GeoGebra can encourage students'
discovery and experimentation processes in the classroom. GeoGebra is a
program that is quite effective and efficient to help visualize mathematical
objects, especially in function and graph material.
GeoGebra can be used to explore geometric concepts, visualize
geometric objects clearly, accurately, and efficiently, and make it easier to
show the properties of a geometric object. Utilization of the GeoGebra
