Semi-Detailed Lesson Plan in Basic Calculus

Prepared by: APRILLE M. ALIPANTE


Date: December 5, 2019
Grade and Section: Grade 12 – Francium (GAS)

I. Objectives
A. Content Standard: The learners demonstrate understanding of the basic concepts of limit.

B. Performance Standard: The learners shall be able to formulate and solve accurately real-life
problems involving continuity of functions.

C. Competency: The learners illustrate the limit of a function using a table of values and the graph of
the function. STEM_BC11LC-IIIa-1
Learning Objectives: In this lesson, the students will be able to:
1. define Limits;
2. identify the limit of the function as x approaches a certain value using a table of
values; and
3. identify the limit of the function as x approaches a certain value using the graph.

II. Subject Matter


Topic: Limits
Materials: graphing board, charts, powerpoint presentation, push pins, yarn, graphing paper
References: Calculus by Howard Anton, Chapter 2 pp. 85-92
Strategy: 4 A’s

III. Learning Task


A. Preliminaries
 Prayer
 Checking of Attendance
 Reminders/Setting of standards
B. Review
Let’s count 1 to 7 with a twist!
Students will count from 1 up to 7 (but without saying the numbers 1-6) with
corresponding hand movements indicating the direction of the next person to count. The
person who loses/ gets wrong will answer the question in the PowerPoint presentation.
Explain your answer and if you answer it correctly you will receive a reward.
Some of the questions to be ask, are the following:
1. What does a table of values contains?
2
2. Given the function 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 , what is the value of 𝑓(−2)?
3. In a Cartesian plane, how do we determine that a graph is a function?

C. Motivation
Point Locator: from Table to Plane, PUT IT UP!
 Group the class into four groups. Each group will receive a task card, pushpins, and yarn.
 Each group is given a different table of values.
 Out of the table of values, each group shall locate the points/ordered pairs in the
graphing board using the pushpins.
 After locating all the points, each group shall connect the points by tying the yarn to the
pushpins.
 The first group who finished first will be the winner, and the winner gets a mysterious
prize.

What have you formed from connecting the points?


If you are going to continue the graph, at what point are you going to draw it? How did
you know that?

D. Activity
With the same group, each group will receive a task card, activity sheets, cartolina and
colored pens to do the 20-minute activity.
𝟏
Given the equation 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙 , each group will complete the table of values and will graph
it in a Cartesian plane.

Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4


𝒙 𝒇(𝒙) 𝒙 𝒇(𝒙) 𝒙 𝒇(𝒙) 𝒙 𝒇(𝒙)

-4 4 -1 1

-3 3 -2 2

-2 2 -3 3

-1 1 -4 4

Questions to be answered:
1. Does the function exist in x=0? Why or why not?
2. What happens to the value of 𝒇(𝒙) as x approaches
Group 1: 0?
Group 2: 0?
Group 3: negative infinity?
Group 4: positive infinity?
Let the students show their output in maximum of 4 minutes.

E. Analysis
𝟏
What happens to the function 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒙 as x approaches 0 from the left? 0 from the
right? negative infinity? positive infinity?

F. Abstraction
 The teacher will give the definition and used of Limits in describing how a function
behaves as the independent variable 𝒙, moves toward a certain value.
 The teacher will introduce mathematical notations associated with limits:
𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) , 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) , 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) , 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) and 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) .
𝒙→𝒂+ 𝒙→𝒂− 𝒙→𝒂 𝒙→−∞ 𝒙→+∞
 The teacher will also illustrate the limits using table of values and graphs from the
outputs of the previous activity.
G. Application:
It’s Showtime!
With the same group, identify the limits of the following graphs

IV. Evaluation
For the function 𝒇(𝒙) graphed below, complete the table by finding the limit as x approaches the ff.:

V. Assignment
Do the Activity
𝒙+𝟏
1. Individually, create a table of values of the function 𝒇(𝒙) = , and graph it in
𝟐𝒙
the graphing paper. Then find the limits of the following:
𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) , 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) , 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) , 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) and 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) .
𝒙→𝟎+ 𝒙→𝟎− 𝒙→𝟎 𝒙→−∞ 𝒙→+∞
