This article reports part of an investigation on the mathematical notions to be taught during primary, secondary, and tertiary education programs and the relationships between these notions and knowledge, from an anthropological point of view, with the purpose of elucidating issues associated with the transition between educational levels. To this end, the notions of primitive of a function and Riemann integral were focused as a study sector in this transition, more specifically within the topic ‘calculation of areas’. Chevallard’s Anthropological Theory of the Didactic and Robert’s three levels of knowledge expected of students composed the core theoretical framework, of which a summary is provided. In the light of these levels, didactic tools such as the notions of setting, change of setting, point of view, and symbolic representations were addressed in terms of ostensive and non-ostensive objects. The research methodology is also reported, along with an analysis grid developed to evaluate how these three levels of knowledge are tackled for the study of primitive of a function and Riemann integral and how these notions are applied to the calculation of areas. An example of use of this grid is provided, together with an analysis of two textbooks and the results of the ENADE macroevaluation of Brazilian higher education programs. These data allowed us to draw conclusions on the importance of investigations that take into account the retrospective knowledge held by students.References
