Slope Field Matching

Twelfth graders investigate slope fields.  In this Calculus lesson, 12th graders identify whether a slope field appropriately reflects a differential equation by matching.  TI-83 Plus/TI-84 Plus and appropriate programs are required to...

Students solve differential equations.  In this differential equations lesson, students use their TI-89 calculator to explore slope fields and find solutions to a differential equation.  They graph their solutions.

Students use their TI-89 calculator to compute derivatives and anti-derivatives. In this differential equation lesson, students follow detailed directions to complete one table of derivative/anti-derivative values. They compute the...

Twelfth graders explore differential equations.  In this calculus lesson, 12th graders solve differential equations graphically, numerically and analytically.

Ready to field questions about slope fields? An article on AP® Calculus teaching methods describes how to teach about slope fields to solve differential equations. It gives some sample problems to consider with the class and how to...

Students sketch a slope field for a given differential equation, given a slope field. They also match a slope field to a differential equation and match a slope field to a solution of a differential equation. Finally, students use a...
