Sophia: Using a Function to Find a Limit

Have class members going in circles as they model the path of a Ferris Wheel using trigonometric functions. Building on the previous lesson plan in this series on transformations, learners use trigonometric functions to model wheels...

In this modeling data learning exercise, students use quadratic functions to model data using three different methods.  This learning exercise provides explanations and an example.  Additionally, students are given the steps to...

Discover relationships between linear and nonlinear functions. Initially, a set of data seems linear, but upon further exploration, pupils realize the data can model an infinite number of functions. Scholars use multiple representations...

Given a sequence, this lesson demonstrates how to relate it to a function to find the limit. It is 1 of 7 in the series titled "Using a Function to Find a Limit."

Given a sequence, this lesson demonstrates how to relate it to a function to find the limit. It is 2 of 7 in the series titled "Using a Function to Find a Limit."

Given a sequence, this lesson demonstrates how to relate it to a function to find the limit. It is 4 of 7 in the series titled "Using a Function to Find a Limit."

Given a sequence, this lesson demonstrates how to relate it to a function to find the limit. It is 6 of 7 in the series titled "Using a Function to Find a Limit."

Intersections become solutions. Scholars watch a video on using a graphing calculator to find the solution to an equation in one variable. While watching the presentation, pupils practice working some of the examples and compare their...

Push an engaging resource to the limit. The interactive allows learners to find a limit on quadratic functions graphically. Using sliders, pupils set the x-value for the limit and to move values from the left and right toward the limit.

Use a function to operate on two variables. Pupils look at operating with complex numbers as a function of two variables. The interactive squares the input and adds a constant to it. Learners visualize the resulting output and its...
