Young mathematicians solve problems involving limits in this calculus lesson. They identify the value of x as the limit approaches positive and negative infinity. Learners study the magnitude as x increases in value.

Learners identify and comprehend the concept of limit in mathematics. They also view artistic works illustrating limits by M. C. Escher and apply techniques of one-sided limits to graphs of relations. Finally, students compute limits...

Learners calculate derivatives from a set of data. In this calculus lesson plan, students estimate the limit at infinity. They complete a Return Interval handout at the end of the lesson plan.

Students prepare for the calculus concepts of limits by examining sequences that converge and diverge. By using an Excel program that generates sequences, students manipulate the starting number, multiplier and add-on values, and examine...

Students find the derivatives of functions.  In this finding the derivatives of functions lesson, students use the definition of derivative to take the derivative of a function.  Students discuss scenarios in which the...

Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

Examine key features of various functions through exploration. A comprehensive lesson has learners describe the domain, range, end behavior and increasing/decreasing intervals of various functions. Function types include linear,...

Young scholars make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.
