Curated OER
Lines in the Plane
Students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations using the slope intercept form. They classify lines based on their slopes.

Secant Line Approximation of the Tangent Line
Students perform operation with secant and tangent lines. In this calculus instructional activity, students find the derivative and relate it to the slope of a line. They differentiate between secant and tangent as they intersect a...
Texas Instruments
Mean Value Theorem
High schoolers calculate the slopes of secant lines. In this calculus lesson, students graph tangent and secant lines using the coordinate plane. They use the Ti calculator to graph and observe the lines.

MVT for Derivatives
Young scholars find the derivative using the mean value theorem in this calculus lesson. They find the slopes of secant and tangent lines, then analyze the function and identify the slope.
