description This article proposes a method for teaching complex numbers and their corresponding operations using mathematical software tools. Initially, the document introduces MATLAB, a paid software, and GeoGebra, a free software. Subsequently, the paper explains the procedure to define the representations of the basic (addition, difference, multiplication and division) and complementary (module and conjugate, roots and polar form) operations of the numerical system of complex numbers, using the two tools and a series of proposed exercises. Finally, the paper highlights the evidenced qualities during the development of the exercises and their transcendence in teaching and learning.

This article proposes a method for teaching complex numbers and their corresponding operations using mathematical software tools. Initially, the document introduces MATLAB, a paid software, and GeoGebra, a free software. Subsequently, the paper explains the procedure to define the representations of the basic (addition, difference, multiplication and division) and complementary (module and conjugate, roots and polar form) operations of the numerical system of complex numbers, using the two tools and a series of proposed exercises. Finally, the paper highlights the evidenced qualities during the development of the exercises and their transcendence in teaching and learning. El artículo propone un método para enseñar los números complejos y sus correspondientes operaciones mediante herramientas de software matemático. Inicialmente se presentan las herramientas MATLAB, cuya licencia es de pago, y GeoGebra, que es un software libre. En la segunda parte se explica el procedimiento para definir las representaciones de las operaciones básicas (adición, diferencia, multiplicación y división) y complementarias (módulo y conjugado, raíces, forma polar) del sistema numérico de los números complejos, usando cada una de las dos herramientas y utilizando una serie de ejercicios propuestos. Finalmente, se diferencian las cualidades evidenciadas durante el desarrollo de los ejercicios y su trascendencia en la enseñanza y aprendizaje.
