Cálculo Diferencial e Integral: Uma abordagem prática mediante o uso do Software Geogebra

Abstract

This monograph has as its theme the use of Geogebra in the teaching of differential and integral calculus. To this end, we made a historical overview showing how the calculation has developed over the years as well as a manual on how to work the concepts of Derivative and Integral through Geogebra Software, making the approach of these contents more playful and current. In higher education, the teaching of differential and integral calculus is characterized as an abstract process, as it is new concepts for students. The difficulty of these disciplines is apparent from their abstraction and the need for graphical and algebraic representations which students find arduous. In view of this, a workbook for the use of Geogebra Software was developed in this work, with the objective of assisting teachers and academics in the contents of these subjects. The work addresses the main concepts of derivatives and integrals and then their graphical representations through Geogebra. Geogebra Software has great potential in helping classroom practices, as it provides new pedagogical approaches to teachers, positively influencing the posture and pedagogical practices of each teacher.
