This lesson has students investigate the notion of a limit using a ratio between distances. The lesson introduces the idea of asymptotic behavior and limits at infinity.
This activity deals with the fundamental notion of a limit. The activity has students analyze a real world business scenario and to explore limits by looking at trends in data.
This lesson has students compare and contrast differences between rational functions to understand vertical asymptotes, horizontal asymptotes, and removable and non removable discontinuities.

This lesson uses the idea of optimization to minimize distances between three different points. Students use The Geometers Sketchpad to explore and to generate data, and then use that data to hypothesize a function to describe the situation.
Students explore relationships in polynomial graphs using a graphing calculator. This activity has students compare and contrast features of graphs and make general function about the degree of a function and its behavior.
Students will graph various pre-images and their images and answer questions in order to determine the rule for graphing reflections in the x and y axes.
