Description
Optimization, like all word problems, are difficult for students. Students will explore optimization problems using given equations and where they provide the needed geometric formulas to determine the maximum or minimum. The anchor charts provide students with steps for solving for absolute extrema by checking endpoints, and when needed, using the second derivative test.
The no prep lesson and worksheet are easy for students to follow and complete. Afterwards they can take the formative assessment, “Quick Quiz”, to determine how well they understand the concepts.
Included in this lesson:
· Explanation of what optimization is.
· Examples of common optimization problems.
· Guided practice.
· 6- problem optimization worksheet.
· 3- question formative assessment.
· Geometry formulas review chart
