This article presents an educational proposal accomplished in a higher education class in the Undergraduate Mathematics, in the discipline Complex Variables, about the content of complex numbers and their geometric representation on the Argand-Gauss plane, more specifically, about the rotation of vectors on the complex plane. The proposal is based on the analysis of textbooks and a master's dissertation involving the teaching of their contents, in which notes the need to work with different forms of representation of complex numbers for students to acquire a good learning. In order to accomplish the proposal, the Geogebra program was used as an information technology resource
