There are studies that show that the use of this type of artifact has a fundamental role in the behavior of students, raising, among other aspects, a greater motivation for learning mathematics. The aim of this work is to explore and describe implications for the behavior and learning of students in the 7th grade of Portuguese basic education, in face of a pedagogical practice that involves carrying out tasks using ES Plickers, in the theme similarities of the domain geometry and measurement, throughout intervention carried out. The adopted methodology presents characteristics of a quasi-experimental study. The participants were 61 students from three classes of a school in the north of Portugal, followed during eight consecutive classes. A set of tasks using Plickers, tests and a questionnaire survey were used as instruments for data collection. The results point to positive increments, at a behavioral level, as well as in the evolution of learning, in view of the use of this methodology in the classroom.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.30935\/cedtech\/13276","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,15]],"date-time":"2023-05-15T15:31:13Z","timestamp":1684164673000},"page":"ep436","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Plickers to support similarities learning: An experience on 7th grade Portuguese basic education"],"prefix":"10.30935","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3262-8180","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula Sofia","family":"Nunes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Vila Real, PORTUGAL"},{"name":"Pevid\u00e9m School Group, Guimar\u00e3es, PORTUGAL"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6917-5093","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paula","family":"Catarino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Vila Real, PORTUGAL"},{"name":"CMAT-UTAD of Minho University, Braga, PORTUGAL"},{"name":"CIDTFF of Aveiro University, Aveiro, PORTUGAL"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3040-9080","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paulo","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Vila Real, PORTUGAL"},{"name":"INESC TEC, Porto, PORTUGAL"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3913-4845","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Manuel","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Vila Real, PORTUGAL"},{"name":"CIDTFF of Aveiro University, Aveiro, PORTUGAL"}]}],"member":"24457","reference":[{"key":"370337","unstructured":"Castro, M.
