topics in Grade 9 that they can still remember.
III. MOTIVATION

Teacher’s Task Learners’ Task/Response

The teacher will play an educational video about the The students will watch the video and share their ideas of
introduction of calculus. how calculus is used in real life situations.
After the students watched the video, the class will
discuss about how calculus is used in different real-life
situations.

IV. DEVELOPMENT OF THE LESSON. Throughout this part, the teacher will use a Constructivist Approach in
her teaching method.

STRATEGY. The teacher will adopt an Inductive Teaching and Learning Approach where teaching begins with
specific examples presented by the teacher and requires learners to make observations to formulate a general rule or
theory.

Teacher’s Task Learners’ Task/Response

(Use Activity sheet 1)

Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Approach

and Collaborative Approach
ACTIVITY Divide the class into ten groups. The
grouping will be heterogeneous. (10 minutes)
The learner will do the activity.
Activity: Graph the function y = f(x) = 2(x) +

using the given table of x - values.
The teacher will ask the following questions.

a. What kind of graph have you made

based on the given values?
b. What is the difference between the Answers of students may vary but in case of
ANALYSIS
two graphs? mistakes, corrections must be made at once.

The teacher will acknowledge their

responses with positive feedback.

ABSTRACTION The graph of function y = f(x) = 2(x) + 1 is

linear and has a slope 2.

The graph of function

2 x −9 x−5
y=f ( x )= =2 x +1 if x ≠ 5 is
x−5
the line y = 2x + 1 with a hole at the point (5,
11).

As x-values get very close to x = 5 through

numbers from the left of 5 and from the right
of 5, the y - values approach 11. The points
approach (5, 11) but the point itself is not
defined. The hole at the point (5, 11)
indicated a break in the line. We note that the
functional value f (5) is undefined but we can
predict what happens to the y-values at x-
values very near x=5. We say that the limit

2 x −9 x−5
of the function f(x) = as x
x−5
approaches 5 is equal to 11. We denote this
as

Definition

Let f(x) be defined on some open interval

containing the number c, except possibly at
x=c itself.

Then,

lim f ( x )=L.
