Honors Calculus
Limit Project: Unit 1
100 Points
Due Date: Monday, October 26th, 2020
Name_______________________________________
Time in the Kitchen!
Time for Math!
Do you know to cook or bake? No! It’s time to learn, with a twist. In Part 1
of the project, you are going to use a recipe for blueberry pancakes to practice
limits. Solve each limit to find the amount you need of each ingredient. In Part 2
of the project, you are going to find your own recipe and create your own limit
problems to solve for each ingredient quantity. You can use an old family recipe
from your Nona, a recipe from an online website, or from a cookbook. The full
recipe instructions must be typed up with your limit recipe.
Typed Recipe:
The limit recipe needs to be typed by creating a Google Doc with the add-on called
MathType for the limits. A picture (you can clip a pretend one from the internet)
of the finished product must be on the recipe. Each person needs to show all of his
work and calculations neatly written.
This project will be graded based on the scoring rubric on the next page.
The project will be shared with me through Google Drive. Send a shared
with me email when your project it complete. Label your document as
2020_Your Last Name_Your First Name_Recipe Title
• Late projects will be deducted 20% first day (if it is not done by class
time) and 10% every day after. After Friday, October 30, 2020, the
project will receive an automatic 0 and will no longer be accepted.
• Show ALL your work for the limits for full credit on a separate sheet
of paper. Don’t skip any steps. Make the work neat, clean and flow
in a linear fashion from each step to the next.
• The limit techniques we have learned that apply to this project are (1)
direct substitution, (2) factoring, (3) sine trig limit identity, (4) cosine
trig limit identity, (5) conjugate, and (6) common denominator. You
many use the limit of a constant ONLY if you have 6 (or more)
ingredients.

Earned Worth General Requirements
• Project and recipe are typed, neat, and easy to read.
5 • Your name and date are on the front of the solution sheets, this
rubric, and the front cover of the project packet.
Earned Worth Part I: Blueberry Pancake Recipe
Each limit problem is solved completely and correctly typed in the
20 Google Doc or written neatly on a separate sheet of paper (scan as a
pdf and include in the digital project.)
Earned Worth Part II: Create Your Own Limit Recipe
Choose an appropriate recipe with at least 5 ingredients.
5
Recipe title, limits, ingredients, instructions, and citation MUST be
typed in a Google Doc (using MathType for the limits).
10 (When typing the recipe, do not include the quantity next to each
ingredient; instead, replace the quantity with a limit problem.)
Recipe is on 1 (or 2) page(s), is decorative, formatted like a real recipe,
5 and includes a picture.
Email me your GOOGLE DOC (share with me). My email is:
[email protected]. Label the recipe document as:
5 2020_Your Last Name_Your First Name_Recipe Title. Include
THIS RUBRIC as part of the project for grading purposes.
The quantity for each ingredient has a limit problem that uses a
DIFFERENT technique or limit strategy to solve. At least 5 different
techniques must be used. Label the technique you used on each of
20
your problems. (You may NOT use the limit of a constant as a
technique unless you have more than 5 ingredients.)
Solve each limit problem yourself on a separate sheet of paper. (You
25 may type the work on the Google Doc if you wish.) Show all your
steps to solve the problems. The limits are solved correctly.
Create a citation for your recipe source (MLA). If the recipe is from a
5 family member use MLA formatting for an unpublished document.
