The topic I liked the most in the five years of high school are the limits. [...] It seemed to me perhaps difficult initially because the teacher made us see and understand their use, and then explained how to calculate faster using the algebra of limits. [...] Also explanations in class have been useful to understand the concepts of limit also the, but also the use of geogebra, that showed me in a concrete way what was a limit and what it was for. Once we understood the function of the limit, the teacher explained to us that there are easier and faster ways to calculate it. After this explanation was easy to understand the topic, because step by step we had seen what limits were used for
Comment: In my opinion the explanations in the laboratory and using geogebra are very important because they allow you to understand the subject in a more immediate way. In the explanation of the limitations I was fine and not in trouble because the teacher explained to us the subject with easier ways in the first explanation, to make us understand, and then trying to use the fastest ways. I fully understood the importance of the limit when we did the asymptotes and points of discontinuity, because I have seen that with these tools you can build a chart.
