Abstract

In the face of the reality of teaching Mathematics in Basic Education in Brazil, specially relating teach functions focusing their relevance to the student's academic development in Basic and Superior Education, this work proposes the use of educational software to help the teaching of functions in Basic Education since the computers and software show as an outstanding option to help the teaching and learning processes. On the other hand, the study also proposes the use of Didactic Transposition as a methodology investigation and research. Along with this survey, some teaching interventions were applied to detect the main difficulties in the teaching process of functions in the Basic Education, analyzing the results obtained along the interventions in a qualitative form. Considering the discussion of the results at the end of the didactic interventions, it was verified that the results obtained were satisfactory.
