Tired of teaching horizontal asymptotes of rational functions with procedures that students forget the moment the test is over? This high school math thinking task builds deep conceptual understanding through guided inquiry and is perfect for group exploration, enrichment, or introducing the concept before formal instruction.

📋 What's Included:

• 6 total student pages
• 5 inquiry-based lesson pages with embedded practice
• 1 optional calculus extension with an introduction to limit notation
• Answer key with example student thinking

💜 Why You'll Love It: This resource is designed to help students think mathematically rather than just follow steps, so the concept actually sticks. The guided inquiry format makes it easy to facilitate meaningful discussion and group exploration without heavy teacher prep. The optional calculus extension introduces limit notation so you can challenge students who are ready to go deeper, without requiring any calculus background from the rest of the class. Everything is ready to print and use the moment you download it.

📚 Topics Covered:

• Horizontal asymptotes of rational functions
• Functions explored in graphical, standard, factored, numerical form
• Writing equations of horizontal asymptotes
• Limit notation for horizontal asymptotes
