This lesson plan aims to teach students about limits and continuity of functions. The objectives are for students to: 1) Illustrate limits of functions using tables and graphs; 2) Distinguish between one-sided and two-sided limits; 3) Illustrate limit laws; and 4) Apply limit laws to algebraic functions. The lesson will begin with an activity on limits and a discussion on limit theorems. Students will then evaluate several example limits. The lesson concludes with an assignment for students to evaluate more limits.

LESSON PLAN IN BASIC CALCULUS
Content: Basic concepts of Limit and Continuity of a function
I. Objectives: At the end of the lesson the students are expected to: A. Illustrate the limit of a function using a table of values and the graph of the function.
B. Distinguish between f(x) and f( c) .
C. Illustrate the limit laws, and D. Apply the limit laws in evaluating the limit of algebraic functions ( polynomial, , rational, and radical ).

Prayer Checking of attendance Motivation Ask the students to answer the given activity.
Activity 1. Almost there 3 2
1 Consider the following function; 3 2 f(x)= 1
1. What is the (implied) domain of f?
2. As you should have seen in (1) , f(x) when x=1. So ,it is nonsense to ask what is f(1), right? 3. Now , take a look at this table . it shows the values of f(x) when the values for x are very close to 1. Using calculator , complete the table X f(x) x f(x) 1.5 2.25 0.5 1.1 1.21 0.9 1.01 1.0201 0.99 1.001 1.002001 0.999 1.0001 1.00020001 0.9999 1.00001 1.000020001 0.99999 4. Notice anything? Does it seem that the function values closer and closer to a certain value as the values for the independent variable get closer and closer to 1?
