We began with an entrance card, where we put down what the word limit brings to mind. After, we went over a homework problem that was a slightly troublesome (17), figuring out that the book wanted us to use the terms above and below the indicated term to find its rate of change. We watched a video on limits (intended heights of functions) that gave a brief overview of what limits were.
Then, we finished up Notes 1.2, writing what made a rate of change positive (increasing) and negative (decreasing), and then reviewed asymptotes. We began a worksheet on a Limiting Sequence, using the NSpire calculators, finding the approximate limit of the system, to finish for homework.
Here is the link for the limit video that Maia referred to in her post.
