Abstract: If we know the function that is limit of some shape, then by the help of a definite integral we can calculate the volume of that shape. Students learn the procedure about the definite integral calculating, but they never understand what exactly they calculate. For visually presenting the shape of which we calculate the volume and explaining the procedure about getting the shapes, we will use the free software GeoGebra. This way the students can calculate the volume of the shapes and at the same time, they can present the shape visually and see what they calculate. That way we will have students who know how to apply their knowledge in mathematics about solving practical problems.
