Lesson Plan: Evaluating Limits Using Algebraic Techniques Mathematics

Start Practising

This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to use algebraic techniques like factorization to evaluate limits.

Objectives

Students will be able to

use algebraic techniques to eliminate a term in the numerator and denominator of an algebraic fraction in order to evaluate a limit.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

polynomial factorization,
limit notation,
evaluating limits by direct substitution.

Exclusions

Students will not cover

limits at infinity and unbounded limits.
