Summary of Derivative Rules
I compiled this graphic organizer so students can compare and contrast when to use which derivative rule - power, product, quotient, chain, and a mix of multiple. Many students forget to simplify the original expression to use one rule that is more direct over another, so I designed the problems to have students reflect on that piece as well. This serves as a good summary and includes various function types.
