Limits Lesson Plans

Students see that freedom of speech is not absolute and that society and the legal system recognize limits on the freedom of speech. They explore issues in which freedom of speech conflicts with other values.

Students find the limit of piecewise functions at a value.  In this finding limits of piecewise functions at a value lesson, students find the limit of piecewise functions as x approaches a given value.  Students find the limit of linear, quadratic, exponential, and trigonometric piecewise functions.

Students investigate limits and continuity of functions.  In this limits and continuity of functions instructional activity, students find the limit as a function approaches a given value.  Students find the domain of functions. 

Twelfth graders explore the concept of limits.  In this calculus instructional activity, 12th graders investigate the limit rules for both finite and infinite limits through the use of the TI-89 calculator.  The worksheet includes examples for each rule and a section for students to try other examples. 

Eleventh graders evaluate functions by taking the limits. In this calculus activity, 11th graders solve equations with limits by substitution and sign analysis. There are a variety of examples and an answer key.

Students evaluate the limits of population models.  In this limits of population models lesson, students find the limit of a population.  Students use sequences and patterns to generate a scatterp plot of the data.  Students find an equation to model the data and determine it's limit as it approaches infinity.

Twelfth graders compute the limits of functions. In this algebra lesson, 12th graders calculate the asymptotes, maximum and minimum of a function. They analyze the functions based on their intercepts and zeros.

Learners derivative functions and limits. In this calculus instructional activity, students apply properties of limits to solve problems. They discus definitions of epsilon and delta.

Eleventh graders solve problems by taking the limit of the equations. In this calculus lesson, 11th graders identify and solve equations as the limit approaches different values. They apply the properties of limit as x approaches zero and one.

Students read a description of how to evaluate limits then solve problems both with and without their graphing calculators. In this evaluating limits lesson, students evaluate 9 limits problems without their graphing calculators. Answers are checked using the calculator.
