Uma proposta para inserção de conceitos básicos de cálculo diferencial e Integral no ensino médio

Abstract

Through this work I come to defend the inclusion of basic concepts of Differential and Integral Calculus in high school, as this would provide students with a better preparation and motivation to undergo the difficulties inherent in such contents in higher education. The insertion of those topics would also lead the students to a better assimilation of the contents already covered in high school, valuing them with multidisciplinary and better-contextualized approaches and making the students more able to make reflections on something that is beyond what their eyes can see. The activities here proposed will be submitted to be used to address the contents of integral in high school, by calculating the areas of, by the method of exhaustion. The activities aim at a natural assimilation of these concepts through the visualization of the process of calculations and the interpretation of results. For this, figures and a specific software that value even more those activities will be used, since the integration of technology into teaching contents of our schools is a challenge and a necessity.
