Abstract

The present work has as its object of study Plato's solids focusing on their approach and use in the classroom as well as their historical origin. Following with a detailed presentation of Plato´s five polyhedra and of great mathematicians who contributed to their discovery, or who through them (the Platonic solids) managed to make new discoveries. The importance of teaching and studying these solids will still be discussed. This work also aims to encourage the teacher to seek through his teaching methodology to end the taboos that surround students about mathematical learning. We also analyzed the presentation of this content in some textbooks. Plato's solids in students. Finally, the work makes a bridge between technology and the teaching of this content through the GeoGebra software that can be a great ally when teaching and learning Plato's solids we base our work on the ideas of the authors Bernadete Barison (2005), Marcos Luchiari (2018), Gayo and Wilhelm published in 2015 and João Lúcio (2020) among others.
