Engage your KS5 Maths students right from the start of the term with this interactive “Back to School Limit Maze”. In this Limits & Continuity activity, students must evaluate various limits to successfully navigate the path from the START cell to the FINISH cell.
This resource is excellent for reinforcing advanced algebraic techniques required in core A-Level modules, providing a fun and self-checking alternative to standard revision sheets.
What is Included in this Resource:
Student Maze Worksheet: A printable activity where students choose the correct limit value to determine their next directional move (UP, RIGHT, DOWN, or LEFT).
Teacher Solution & Path Map: A clear visual answer key showing the exact path from START to FINISH.
Solution Path Summary: A quick reference key providing a sequential 8-step breakdown of the problems, correct answers, and directional moves.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solutions: Complete analytical working, algebraic transformations, and justifications for all problems along the correct solution path.
Mathematical Topics Covered:
Evaluating infinite limits of rational functions where the denominator approaches $0^+$ from both sides.
Determining whether a limit approaches $+\infty$ or $-\infty$ based on a positive or negative numerator.
Identifying limits that do not exist (DNE) due to left and right limits disagreeing.
Applying the Dominance & Degree Law to complex limit problems.
