So since I just taught L'Hôpital the day before, derivatives are fresh in their minds. Again, they should know the derivative of...

When your students don't know many derivatives, there is only so much you can do with L'Hôpital. I get that, but I'm stubborn. To me,...

So the first thing I teach on this day is that there are 3 types of discontinuities: Infinite (Vertical Asymptote), Jump (when the graph...

My personal students have never respected the Squeeze Theorem, so that probably says a bit about my attitude when teaching it. I give...

First I show them the limit as x approaches the middle of one piece of the piecewise. Those are easy because all they have to do is plug...

So this is the first day of doing limits with infinity. What I first tell them is where the infinity goes with each type of problem. If...

There are too many ways to use algebra to solve a limit. This lesson is about factoring for rational expressions and rationalizing...

If I were teaching on block schedule, I would probably include this lesson with the previous lesson. It's a pretty short concept to...

Of course before a student should try limits algebraically, they need a visual representation of what they're doing. I literally remember...

In "Guess the Derivative", I assume that the students need a reminder of where the graphs of sine and cosine came from. I may even start...

"What is Calculus?" is the name of the first lesson that I do after I deal with all that summer assignment stuff. The purpose of this...

I have almost always posted a Calculus Summer Assignment on my school website. In the past I have pushed it on the Pre-Calc teachers to...

I used to hang up a unit circle poster in my room, but I realized that I need my students to be able to find values on their own quickly,...
