Calculus: Extrema and Inflection - Matching Activity

Created by
Emily P K
In this pair / small group activity, students apply what they know about extrema and inflection. Students are given a description of four functions' increasing / decreasing behavior and must determine which descriptions* of each function's first and second derivatives must be true. * Example descriptions on the "answer cards": f ’’ (x) is negative on (-2, 7) f ’ (-2) = 0 and f ’’ (-2) < 0 f has a relative min at x = 7 f ’ (x) changes from neg to pos at x = 7 The file includes instruct

Calculus - Derivatives - Power Rule Stations

Created by
EZ Math
This is a set of 11 stations for practicing the Power Rule in calculus. It is assumed that students know the properties of derivatives (addition rule, subtraction rule, coefficient rule) but no other differentiation techniques are needed (NO PRODUCT RULE, NO QUOTIENT RULE, NO CHAIN RULE). Variations include rewriting radicals as powers, rewriting with negative exponents, using derivatives to find equations of tangent lines, using tables to evaluate derivatives, as well as application problems i

Limits and Piecewise Functions

This worksheet asks the student to graph a piecewise function in four pieces. The function includes linear and quadratic equations and has discontinuity. The students are then asked to find five different limits including a limit from the right and the limit as x approaches a value not shown on the graph. This document is great for group work, a quiz, or going through an example with the class.

Operations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) rational expressions and functions. Solving rational equations. Word problem involving rational functions. This packet includes two sets of the quiz. I pair students in the class. The questions are not same but similar. So they can coach the other student but cannot copy from the other person. Great co-operative learning activity. It is great to hear how students explain the problem to their partner. It is also to catch where they are struggling an

Discovering the Product Rule by Exploring a Rectangle's Area (Calculus Activity)

Created by
Greg Savage
I designed this activity as an opportunity for a calculus student to build an intuitive understanding of why the product rule works. While completing this activity, students develop their intuition by exploring a familiar topic (the area of a rectangle). During this activity, students are led to make the following observations: 1. When the length of a rectangle increases, and the width stays the same, the increase in area equals the increase in length times the width. 2. When the width of a rec

A pairs / small group activity for students to practice what they know about limits. Each group gets a formula for a piecewise-defined function and 18 cards. They must determine which six cards are true for their function. As an extension, groups who finish can be assigned a set of six of the remaining cards and create a function that has those properties. The file contains detailed instructions as well as an answer key. Each card has a letter written on it, which allows teachers to quickly

This table of contents covers the properties in my 3rd Calculus chapter on Curve Sketching which I give the students on the first day of the unit. There are actually two lists, a Table of Contents with my foldables and a Table of Contents with all the properties I cover in this chapter. I uploaded the table of contents in WORD so you can edit it to fit your needs. My "Interactive Notebook" which I call a Little Black Book (because it is a black marbled composition book) is predominantly a conc

I wrote this worksheet for my IB/Precalculus students so they could see how to apply the chain rule to determine the derivative of a composition of functions. The questions are worded in triples: once to find the derivative of the first function, once for the derivative for the second function, and then for the composition of functions. I use this activity within cooperative groups, and I circulate to make sure they are getting the purpose of the questions. The file includes spiral review pro
