Integral definida: uma abordagem para o ensino médio com o auxílio do software geogebra.

Abstract

This work aims to incorporate in high school, the intuitive idea of the Definite Integral, calculation of areas below the positive functions, bounded by the x-axis and vertical lines, or even between positive graph functions in a certain range the area of the same, for example. To facilitate the understanding of these ideas, combined with the study of functions, you can make use of a computational resource such as Geogebra, software used to support learning activities suggested in this work tool. The activities proposed here are intended for high school students. Highlights the importance of introducing these ideas to stimulate the construction of more accurate information on the behavior of functions. It is believed that thus the term, students who enter higher education in the disciplines of calculation will be better able to understand the necessary and thus the failure rates in these disciplines will be reduced concepts. The following work presents a proposal of activities for teaching these topics with the help of GeoGebra software. It was found that you can open the horizons within the teaching and learning of Mathematics in Secondary Education, with intuitive ideas of Calculus, making the use of various tools such as the use of appropriate technologies and that is even possible to provide students new teaching techniques that encourage learning these and other mathematical concepts.
