This paper aims at presenting a way of teaching such contents in an integrated way, starting with the definition of ane and exponential functions relating them to situations from the daily life of the students. Then, characteristics and graphics of those functions are presented and, subsequently, arithmetic and geometric progression are shown as a restriction of the ane and exponential functions. Thus, the study of the progressions is introduced based on the functions mentioned above using situations from students daily lives as examples / Geralmente o ensino das progress~oes aritmeticas e geometricas e feito separadamente das func??es afins e exponenciais, com a utiliza??o de formulas prontas, sem a preocupa??o de repassar para os alunos a rela??o que existe entre esses conteudos. Pretende-se com esse trabalho apresentar uma maneira de ensinar esses conteudos de forma integrada, iniciando com a defini??o do conceito das fun??es afim e exponencial, atraves de situac~oes do cotidiano dos alunos. Em seguida foram mostradas propriedades e comportamento grafico de tais fun??es, e posteriormente foram apresentadas as progress?es aritmeticas e geometricas como uma restri??o das fun??es afim e exponencial, respectivamente. Dessa forma introduziu-se o estudo das progress~oes tomando por base as fun??es citadas a partir de situa??es vivenciadas pelos proprios alunos
