Curated OER
Similarities and Differences in Properties of Different Families of Functions - An Investigation
Exploring families of functions allows students compare and contrast properties of functions. Students discuss properties that include symmetry, max and min points, asymptotes, derivatives, etc.
Curated OER
Working with Rates of Change
In this calculus worksheet, students problem solve 8 word problems involving rates of change in association with high school students. Students work out each problem and give a short explanation of each answer.
Curated OER
Extrema on an Interval
Students explore maximum and minimum points, slopes and tangents. In this Pre-Calculus activity, students solve optimization problems and find rates of change.
Curated OER
Rates of Change
In this rate of change worksheet, students read about how to calculate the rate of change in different processes such as plant growth. They are given example problems and practice calculating rates of change.
