Unique misperceptions of limits are a rationale for promoting more accurate conceptual understanding. As part of a Literacy Toolkit on Limits, a written “Anticipation Guide” collaborative group activity helps teachers assess initial misperceptions of limits and graphs, get feedback, develop a concise lesson plan, and assess post-lesson understanding.
