PRE CALCULUS
Lesson Plan in Mathematics (4 A’s Approach)

Teacher : JOCELYN T. PATA Duration: 1 hr

Learning area/ PRE CALCULUS Time and Date: February 14,2023

Quarter:

CONTENT STANDARD The learners demonstrate understanding of the basic concepts of

limit and continuity of a function.

PERFORMANCE STANDARD The learners shall be able to formulate and solve accurately real-life
problems involving continuity of a function.
LEARNING COMPETENCY/ CODE Illustrate the limit of a function using table of values and graph of
the function. STEM_BC11LC-IIIa-1

I. OBJECTIVES

II. SUBJECT MATTER Topic: Limits

Instructional Materials: Laptop, PPT maker, Marker, graphing
board, charts, graphing paper
References: Curriculum Guide, Module and Website, Calculus by
Howard Anton, Chapter 2 pp. 85-92
Strategies: 4 A’s Approach (Activity, Analysis, Abstraction,
Application)
III. PRELIMINARY A. Opening prayer
ACTIVITIES B. Checking of attendance
C. Reminders/ setting of standards

IV. REVIEW/DRILL Let’s count 1 to 7 with a twist!

 Students will count from 1 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 lose/gets wrong will answer the question
in the Power presentation.
 Explain your answer and if you answer it correctly you will
received a reward.
Some of the question to be ask, are the following

1. What does a table of values contains?

2
2. Given the function f ( x )= , what is the value of f (−2 ) ?
x
3. In a Cartesian plane, how do we determine that a graph is
function?
V. 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 push pins.
 The first group who finished first will e 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? How did you know that?

VI. LESSON PROPER With the same group, each group will receive a task card, activity
A. ACTIVITY sheets, cartolina and colored pens to do 20 minutes activity.

1
Given the equation f ( x )= , each group will complete the table of
x
values and will graph it in aq Cartesian plain.

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?

B. ANALYSIS 1
What happens to the function f ( x )= as x approaches 0 from the
x
left? 0 from the right? Negative infinity? Positive infinity?
