O uso de tecnologia no ensino e na aprendizagem de Cálculo Diferencial

This paper presents the experience report of the technology used in the teaching-learning of the concepts of differential calculus. The graphic display of the software Desmos was explored in a Calculus I class of fifteen students of the Agronomy Degree in an Institution of Higher Education of Rio Grande do Sul, with the goal to verify the contributions of Desmos to the teaching of derivatives of the first and second order and the function performance through the application of the view proportioned by the software. Activities developed with the assistance of Desmos are presented to achieve the comprehension of the concepts of the derivatives of first and second function of a real variable and its performance. The results demonstrate that the application of the graphic view opens an enabler way in teaching and learning of abstract concepts of mathematics, which are related to the definitions and theorems specially in the case of derivatives.
