This article presents the results of a research project whose main objective was to describe the mediating role of GeoGebra’s “Graphing Calculator” mobile application on the conjecturing processes of the mean value theorem for derivatives by the use of some dragging tools, which combines dynamic geometry and infinitesimal calculus. By means of a qualitative case study, involving students from aeronautical engineering, research efforts were carried out looking forward to get evidence that allow the judgement of a hypothesis involving a positive influence of a mobile learning strategy on conjecturing processes in the context of a calculus course. The results obtained allowed us to conclude significant advances in the conjecturing process of the above-mentioned theorem for the solving-problems process in engineering. The discussion of how this type of digital resources, through a dynamic geometry environment in mobile devices, could favor the learning of calculus, is also addressed.
