Davao del Norte Division
KAPALONG NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Maniki, Kapalong, Davao del Norte
I. LESSON OBJECTIVES
Along the 60-minute session, the students are expected to:
1. illustrate the limit of a function using a table of values and the graph of the function;
2. identify the steps in evaluating the limit of a function.
III. PROCEDURE
A. Preliminary Activities
1. Prayer
2. Greetings
3. Checking of Attendance and Classroom Management
4. Drill (5 minutes)
Introduce to the students that limits are the backbone of calculus, and calculus is
called the Mathematics of Change. The study of limits is necessary in studying change in
great detail. The evaluation of a particular limit is what underlies the formulation of the
derivative and the integral of a function. Tell the students to imagine that they are going to
watch a basketball game, and relate it to what limits of a function is.
B. Lesson Procedure
1. Activity – Group Activity (20 minutes)
a. The class will be divided into five (5) groups.
b. Each group will be given their assigned tasks.
c. They will investigate the limit of the function and graph the function.
d. They will write their answers in the Activity Sheet given.
e. They will choose a representative from their group to report their output.
2. Analysis and Discussion (10 minutes)
a. How did you find the activity?
b. How did you evaluate the limit of the function?
c. Did you follow the example given in the Activity Sheet?
4. Application (5 minutes)
Each group (same grouping with the previous activity) will construct a table of values
to illustrate the limit below. The group who will finish first with the correct answer will
be given additional points.
IV. EVALUATION
The students will be evaluated based on the group activity.
V. ASSIGNMENT
(1/2 crosswise) What are the Limit Theorems? Illustrate each theorem.
Direction: Evaluate the given limit and construct the table of values to investigate the limit of a function. Also, show
the graph of the function. You may refer to the example below for your reference.
