L’Hospital’s Rule Circuit (calculus)
Circuits are not the only resource I use in my classroom, but I have written over 100 of them so people ask me about them all the time. A calculus colleague who wants to use circuits told me that he gets overwhelmed when he looks at my TpT store. The site is a little hard to navigate, so he gave me the idea to write a blog post about it. What follows are hot links to circuits by topic which shows the the order in which I use them. Click on the link and it will take you directly to the page where you can download the circuit. Once you download the circuit, it is tied to your TpT account (not your computer or your phone) so you will always have it.
Three notes: First, I teach early transcendentals, so if you are interested in a circuit, please read the description on TpT AND work the circuit before you assign it to your students. Second, I know the site name is Teachers pay Teachers, but really you should have your district, school or department reimburse you for these purchases! Finally, if you are interested in a starter set of six calculus circuits, click here.

Thank you so much for this–just today I was looking at TpT, trying to figure out which to do first!
You are welcome!
This is GREAT! I have most of your circuits and often wonder what the ideal order for them is. This is a hugely valuable resource!
Thanks, Erica! The new L’Hospital’s rule circuit can be used in the applications of the derivative section, but it has two integrals as the last two questions so I put it with the end of the year stuff. Also, the DE circuit could come before volume (that’s actually when I cover DE) but I put it later in the order. Hope it helps! Make your circuit binder this summer!!
