Abstract
The purpose of this study is to characterize the teaching of the concept of limits to first-year bachelor degree students at a Dutch university. In order to achieve this purpose, two video-recorded lectures were analyzed through the analytical framework by Mali and Petropoulou (2017). Categories of teaching were used to identify explaining and extending actions within the lectures. This study suggests the DTP format was used in the lectures. Graphical, as well as symbolic representations were used in mathematical explanations. The analyzed lectures were mostly based on explaining definitions and theorems by proving them and showing its applications, rather than detailing the reasoning behind them.
