AB In this work, we present a teaching proposal which emphasizes on visualization and physicalapplications in the study of eigenvectors and eigenvalues. These concepts are introduced using thenotion of the moment of inertia of a rigid body and the GeoGebra software. The proposal wasmotivated after observing students’ difficulties when treating eigenvectors and eigenvalues from ageometric point of view. It was designed following a particular sequence of activities with the schema:exploration, introduction of concepts, structuring of knowledge and application, and considering thethree worlds of mathematical thinking provided by Tall: embodied, symbolic and formal.
