Move beyond setting up equations. Pupils continue with optimization problems and use their knowledge of derivatives to find solutions. They watch as the video uses equations from previous examples and find solutions to answer specific...

In this extrema and optimization instructional activity, students identify all points in the domain and determine the critical points. They compute the second derivative and find the global maxima and minima. This two-page...

Test your students' calculus skills with this quiz, the first page of which includes instructions and an honor pledge. On the second page, kids find the maximum and minimum values of the of an identified figure with given constraints....

When it comes to rating educational calculators, this calculator is always near the top of this list. Now it's available as an app. There is a lot of calculator power wrapped up in this app. Not only is this a fully functioning...

We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

For this calculus worksheet, students determine the intervals in which a given relation is concave up. They determine the inflection points of a given formula. Students use the second derivative test to classify the relative extrema of a...

You can apply calculus to the business world! This lesson goes through a number of business applications of derivatives and optimization that are widely used. Explanations and examples are provided. Great review for the AP Calculus test!

Practice types of problems you will see on AP Calculus test that deal with optimization. Formulas and examples are provided.

This site presents a tutorial on the topic of differentiation. Points of focus include rules for differentiation, tangents to curves, derivatives, increasing and decreasing functions, and optimization. Examples and a practice test are...
