Abstract: The following educational experience is related to the axis of solving and creating problems, it was carried out with students of the second cycle of the professional school of administration, who in their learning have difficulties when understanding the notion of limit of a real function, that is for this reason, our objective was to contribute to improving the understanding and learning of this mathematical object by using a didactic sequence designed based on the Theory of Didactic Situations, since it is developed situations of action, formulation, validation and institutionalization that the students managed to develop mostly. The results obtained are satisfactory, as the majority of students manage to understand the notion of limit and it is easier for them later to understand the formal definition of limit.


Key words: didactic situation, limit, function
