Abstract

We recommend the visual presentations shown in this paper as a presentation of the content of continuity in certain grades of secondary schools. In this paper we construct such a programme that can be applied to almost all functions, continuous and discontinues ones, in the programme package Scientific Workplace. This procedure enables teachers to add as many examples as necessary. Thus, the students understand properly this limit process, which is supposed to make the proper accepting of the continuity of function easier.
