Derivatives
Derivatives measure instantaneous rates of change and slopes of tangent lines. Students learn derivative rules and apply derivatives to analyze function behavior and solve optimization problems.
Derivatives are fundamental to calculus and essential for physics (velocity, acceleration), optimization problems, curve sketching, and understanding how quantities change.
Teaching Tips
Connect derivatives to slope and rate of change constantly. Teach rules systematically with many examples. Use prime notation and Leibniz notation. Apply to motion problems regularly. Practice optimization and related rates extensively.
Test derivative calculation using various rules. Include application problems (related rates, optimization). Ask students to analyze functions using first and second derivatives. Use real contexts (motion, economics).
