I ended up using som ..read more

This free printable limits calculus poster reminds calculus students of an important concept: limtis are about the journey not the destination. I created a new poster this year for my AP Calculus AB class for our first unit of the year: Limits and Continuity.

I like this statement because too often my students get hung up on the fact that the function is undefined at a certain point so they believe that the limit cannot e ..read more
