Hi Marcelo!
It's great that you're interested in this, mathematics, education and
free software is a huge subject.

In KDE Edu we have some pieces of software that fit your requirements.
Maybe Cantor like Tomaz said and also KAlgebra, Kmplot and if you look
a bit further in the future Khipu. Khipu is specially interesting
though, because it's specially aimed for teachers who want to teach
mathematics in class, using the computer. In this case, for displaying
wonderful plots.

Said that, it would be interesting if you take a look at what we've
done and kickstart a bit the discussion regarding the subjects that
concern you, I'm pretty sure it can be interesting for all of us!

Cheers!
Aleix
