In this theoretical essay, we intend to present task proposals and praxeological analyzes in an Epistemological Reference Model (MER) for teaching Differential and Integral Calculus, giving new meaning to the diffusion of the notion of limit of a function by definition. The aforementioned MER has as its epistemological and methodological assumption the Anthropological Theory of Didactics by Yves Chevallard and the ideas of Top Down and Bottom up attentional processing. Data production for this study occurs via praxeological analysis based on tasks extracted from textbooks and a priori analysis of the constructed MER. As a main result, it was observed through the a priori analysis of the tasks that made up the MER, that the tacit knowledge necessary to solve the tasks can be evoked by their structure, while in bottom-up processing the use of imagery resources helps in focusing paying attention to important conceptual aspects present in the proposed tasks.
