Introduction to Limits: Approaching a Value
Students will intuitively understand limits by observing function behavior as input values approach a specific point.
Key Questions
- Explain why we need the concept of a limit to describe behavior at an undefined point.
- Differentiate between 'approaching' and 'reaching' a value in the context of limits.
- Predict the limit of a simple function by examining its graph or table of values.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
