Multiple Representations of Limits
After an introductory activity to demonstrate the theory of a limit, additional activities approach a limit from graphical, numerical, and algebraic methods. The activity looks at the multiple ways of understanding and evaluating a limit.

Inverses of Logarithmic and Exponential Functions
Revisit the relationship between logarithms and exponentials. Learners review the notion of logarithms as the way to solve exponential equations in the 21st segment in a Pre-calculus series of 23. Pupils use the knowledge to prove that...

Horizontal and Vertical Asymptotes of Graphs of Rational Functions
Get close to your favorite line. Scholars use end behavior to help find horizontal asymptotes. With the understanding of domains of rational functions, learners find vertical asymptotes and then use graphing calculators to verify the...

Distance and Complex Numbers 1
To work through the complexity of coordinate geometry pupils make the connection between the coordinate plane and the complex plane as they plot complex numbers in the 11th part of a series of 32. Making the connection between the two...

Derivative Theorems
Put all of the derivative rules into one basket. The lesson stars with warm-up exercises that provide a connection to previously learned concepts. The lesson plan uses the different derivative theorems to calculate a variety of...

Derivative – Standard Definition
Making a clear connection to algebra concepts helps learners understand the definition of a derivative. The lesson begins with looking at limits of simple linear and rational functions, and leads to the definition of the derivative....

Comparing Rational Functions and Simplified Functions
What kind of functions have holes in their graphs? Here, the teacher guides the class on how to use the simplified function of a rational function to aid in the graphing of the original rational function. T-tables are used in order to...

What Is Area?
What if I can no longer justify area by counting squares? Lead a class discussion to find the area of a rectangular region with irrational side lengths. The class continues on with the idea of lower approximations and upper...

Motion Along a Line – Search Robots Again
We can mathematically model the path of a robot. Learners use parametric equations to find the location of a robot at a given time. They compare the paths of multiple robots looking for parallel and perpendicular relationships and...

Modeling with Polynomials—An Introduction (part 1)
Maximizing resources is essential to productivity. Class members complete an activity to show how math can help in the process. Using a piece of construction paper, learners construct a box with the maximum volume. Ultimately, they...

Awkward! Who Chose the Number 360, Anyway?
Don't give your classes the third degree. Use radians instead! While working with degrees, learners find that they are not efficient and explore radians as an alternative. They convert between the two measures and use radians with the...

Integer Sequences—Should You Believe in Patterns?
Help your class discover possible patterns in a sequence of numbers and then write an equation with a lesson plan that covers sequence notation and function notation. Graphs are used to represent the number patterns.

Newton’s Law of Cooling
As part of an investigation of transformations of exponential functions, class members use Newton's Law of Cooling as an exponential model to determine temperature based on varying aspects. The resource makes comparisons between models...
