Instructional Ideas
- Use the slideshow to introduce continuity
Classroom Considerations
- The slideshow is a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, so be sure your computer can open a .pptx extension
- The slideshow only covers continuity at a point, not over an interval
Pros

- Each part of the definition of continuity appears separately, allowing for discussion before the solutions appear
Cons
- None
