Curated OER
Introduction to Limits
High schoolers practice using graphing calculators and spreadsheets as they explore numeric limits using sequences and functions. They complete a sequencing worksheet, and determine which sequence corresponds to story a story called...
Curated OER
Limits and Their Properties
Students discuss the following topics of Calculus: The Tangent Line Problem, The Area Problem, and Exercises. They find limits graphically and numerically. Students write a mathematical autobiography, they write their earliest memories...
Curated OER
Computation Of Limits
Students engage in a lesson about the limits of mathematics. They practice computing the limits in a introduction to a course in calculus. Students are guided through sample problems that are provided in the lesson. They demonstrate...

Introduction to Limits
Twelfth graders problem solve limit/function value situations. They solve the problems using a graphing calculator, which allows them to see the function's graph, and infer the function value and limit from the graph.
Curated OER
Epsilon-Delta Window Challenge
Students graph functions and analyze them. In this calculus lesson, students define limit formally using Epsilon-Delta. They use the TI to graph the function and analyze it.
Curated OER
Return Intervals & Reasoning from Tabular Data
Pupils calculate derivatives from a set of data. In this calculus lesson, students estimate the limit at infinity. They complete a Return Interval handout at the end of the lesson.
Curated OER
Secant Line Approximation of the Tangent Line
Learners perform operation with secant and tangent lines. In this calculus activity, students find the derivative and relate it to the slope of a line. They differentiate between secant and tangent as they intersect a circle, using Cabri.
Curated OER
Area Between Two Curves
Twelfth graders identify and find the area between two curves. For this calculus lesson, 12th graders decide what the best way is to find the shaded area between two curves using examples from previous lessons. They relate areas between...
Curated OER
Calculus
Students make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the activity is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.

Using Motion Sensors to Explore Graph Sketching
Get moving to a better understanding of graphs of derivatives. Using motion sensors, scholars vary their velocities to create graphs of the first derivative of a function. The activity challenges groups to first create a script of the...

Attack of the Aphids!
Insects threaten the food production industry, and aphids are one of the big players! Analyzing data of aphid populations gives insight into their behaviors. Learners model the population data of an uninhibited population with an...
