Lesson Plans and Worksheets
When I first started teaching, coming up with activities and lesson plans was nerve racking. Soon, the activities became boring year after year. Lesson Planet has helped me create lessons and activities that keeps students actively engaged. Thanks Lesson Planet.

Calculus Differentiation Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Calculus Differentiation lesson plan ideas and activities
Young scholars use differential equations to determine the distance of a hit baseball. In this using differential equations to determine the distance of a hit baseball instructional activity, students find the velocity and angle of a ball hit by a batter. Young scholars use differential equations to determine the distance the ball travels.
Students use the relationship between volume and surface area to construct a box out of a piece of paper that maximizes volume using a table and by using graphing and calculus techniques.
Students explore the concept of differentiating inverse functions. In this differentiating inverse functions instructional activity, students find the first derivative of the inverse of sine function in a lecture style instructional activity.
Students identify the properties of derivatives. In this calculus activity, students identify the functions that are differentiable and differentiate them. They calculate the derivative using the ab-initio method.
Students solve problems using differential equations. In this calculus instructional activity, students identify the slope of a tangent line and discuss its relationship to a function. They find the x and y intercept of their graph and label the graph as a function or non-function.
Young scholars take the derivative of functions. In this calculus lesson, students identify all the trigonometric rules and properties of differential equations. They use these equations using substitution to evaluate and solve differential equations.
