GeoGebra, an emerging software for mathematics teaching, has won several educational software awards in Europe and the United States. In foreign countries, GeoGebra has been widely promoted and applied. Some countries have established specialized institutions of GeoGebra to support the teacher' training, the sharing of teacher's experience and research. At present, many Chinese scholars are studying GeoGebra. In 2011, China established the research institute of GeoGebra, which was the chief research institute of GeoGebra in China. It studies mathematics teaching and learning related to GeoGebra, provides professional training for normal students and front-line teachers, shares successful cases and advanced experiences in mathematics learning and teaching, leads and assists the construction and development of other local research institutes of GeoGebra in China, and promotes collaboration among the local research institutes of GeoGebra in China. This paper reviews and sorts out the existing researches, and finds that the current researches on GeoGebra in middle school mathematics focus on the application of GeoGebra in teaching, the role of GeoGebra in teaching, the problems with the use of GeoGebra, and the suggestions on the use of GeoGebra. Through the summary, it is found that some researches are not in-depth enough. Therefore, this paper points out the future research direction, aiming to better promote further research.
