Average Velocity, Instantaneous Velocity, and Slope

For this distance worksheet, students determine the distance between two objects, find the average velocity of an object, and define instantaneous velocity. This two-page worksheet contains six two-step problems.

For this velocity worksheet, students determine the distance traveled when an object is moving in a straight line. Students graph functions and determine the slope of the line. This two-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

In this velocity activity, students determine the average velocity for a trip, graph the distance traveled as a function of time, estimate the slope and identify the instantaneous rate of change of the function. This two-page activity...

In this velocity worksheet, students determine the average and instantaneous velocity. They compute the derivative of given functions. This one-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

In this proportionality activity, students are given 4 short-answer problems regarding change in velocity, time elapsed, point-slope form, and slope-intercept form.

For this velocity worksheet, students solve rate and velocity problems. They read story problems, determine necessary information, write equations and solve rate, volume and area problems. This three-page worksheet contains twelve...

It turns out that "instantaneous rate of change" isn't an accurate representation of the derivative. Viewers of the second video in a series of 11 learn about the concept of the derivative, from the limit of a difference quotient to the...

You've launched a pumpkin into the air. How can you calculate its average velocity? Viewers learn how to calculate the average velocity of an object from tables and graphs, including a careful derivation of units, in the first...

How can you determine the rate of change on a curve? Pupils use the interactive to discover what happens with the average rate of change as the point move closer to the other. Using the definition of the derivative, learners find that it...

Accelerate your class through finding the second derivative. Using a bank of equations, pupils determine the equations for distance, velocity, and acceleration and their associated function notations. With the equations, learners answer...
