Lab Manual for MTH 111: Precalculus I: Functions

Students will complete the Preparation Exercises before receiving instruction on the content. Some instructors will have students do this before coming to class, while others might do it as a warmup in class.

There will be some instructor-led presentation of the content. This may be a formal class lecture, a discovery activity, a video lecture, or something else.

Students will then engage in Practice Exercises in a group setting to reinforce their initial understanding of the foundational concepts.

An instructor will then assign one or more group activities. Because many of these activities are webbased and instructors can choose to use different activities, we have not included any of the possible activities in this document.

The Definitions are meant to provide a single location for all definitions and some key concepts. Students can use this as a resource after having covered the topics in class.

Students will complete some or all of the Exit Exercises, as decided by their instructor, to summarize their understanding of key concepts.

In general, not every section of this lab manual will take the same amount of class time. Some sectionsmight be half-day topics, while others could be two-day topics.

Each instructor will identify for their class which exercises will be submitted as part of the course grade.
