Curated OER
Taylor Polynomials
Pupils graph Taylor polynomials in this calculus instructional activity. They observe the graphs for the expansion of Taylor polynomial functions and use the Ti calculator to help create visuals of the graphs.

Introduction to Taylor Series
In this Taylor series worksheet, students determine the difference between a Taylor series and a Taylor polynomial. They solve function problems. This two-page worksheet contains seven problems.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Taylor Polynomials
Students learn to define a Taylor polynomial approximation to a function f of degree n about a point x = a. They also learn to graph convergence of Taylor polynomials. They use Taylor polynomials to approximate function values.
