Initially a historical overview of the counting techniques is presented: addressing numbering systems that facilitated the writing of numbers and the invention of zero, to the present day, with the modern decimal. This system positional be much easier life in society, facilitating the writing of numbers and calculations impossible on previous systems. This spurred the evolution of societies and the advancement of mathematics itself. large numbers and functions are addressed together through their connections ensuring a better understanding of them. In this work we perform practical classes at a high school students in class, using the theme in the amount of the population or the Earth-Sun distance, so they can write them in a simpler way, and through functions, analyze your values algebraic and graphical interpretations. All this work will generate a class to be published in an appropriate location on the Internet, such as the Ministry of Education Teacher Portal.openAccessNúmeros, Números grandes, funções, sistema de numeração, notação científicapostGraduateThesis
