Find teacher approved Rate of Change educational resource ideas and activities
Math pupils calculate the average rate of change over a specific interval. They represent the average rate of change on a graph and examine the behavior of the graph for decreasing and increasing numerals.
In this function instructional activity, students read word problems and write functions. They determine the instantaneous rate of change and identify intervals. This three-page instructional activity contains approximately 20 problems.
High schoolers investigate logistic models by making a scatter plot of internet phone users over 5 years. They find a logistic model that fits their data and then discuss what the instantaneous rate of change means in the context of the problem. Very relevant and applicable!
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.
Tenth graders investigate slope of a line. In this algebra/Applied math lesson students use technology to explore linear equations in order to connect rate of change to slope of a line.
Students, with the assistance of their TI-84 Plus / TI-83 Plus calculators, distinguish meanings from right, left and symmetric difference quotients that include rate of change and graphical interpretations. They utilize symmetric difference quotients to approximate instantaneous rate of changes.
For this calculus worksheet, 12th graders differentiate and integrate basic trigonometric functions, calculate rates of change, and integrate by substitution and by parts. The twenty-two page worksheet contains explanation of the topic, numerous worked examples, and sixteen multi-part practice problems. Answers are not provided.
In this successive approximations activity, students use the Babylonian algorithm to determine the roots of given numbers. They identify the limits of a function, and compute the rate of change in a linear function. This two-page activity contains explanations, examples, and approximately ten problems.
Students calculate the rate of change using the derivative. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the function over closed interval and identify the rate of change. They use correct notation and classify a function as increasing or decreasing.
Learners explore the concept of rate of change. In this rate of change lesson, students calculate concentrations, flow, and duration of ice water. Learners calculate and graph temperature over time of the ice water. Students analyze the rate of change.
