Instructional Ideas

• Have the class draw graphs of all three functions to visually verify the limit

Classroom Considerations

• Pupils should be able to apply substitution to evaluate limits
• Knowing how to use properties of limits concerning inequalities is a prerequisite skill

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Displays work step by step

Cons

• Lacks a visual representation of the Squeeze Theorem
• Does not explain why inequality signs stay the same when multiplying by x^2
