Start with a ready-made worksheet

Use each equation or graph to find both one-sided limits and the two-sided limit.

Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.

Approach from each side

Every task keeps the original equation, domain and point value separate from its exact one-sided behavior.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Interpret open and closed endpoints without replacing limits by point values.

Worked example

At x = a, the left branch approaches 2 and the right branch approaches -1. Find all three limits.

The one-sided limits are 2 and -1; the two-sided limit is DNE.

Unequal one-sided limits prevent a two-sided limit, regardless of f(a).

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Read the approach direction before evaluating.
  • Keep signed infinity separate from finite real limits.
  • Check open and closed graph endpoints independently.
