Handouts Delving Deeper into the Derivative.pdf

 

Test the limits of your calculus knowledge! Participants will explore multiple representations of the derivative and build connections between their own understandings of the concept and practical contexts. The concept will be developed with a simple ticker-tape task in which participants consider how to determine the speed of a falling object.
