Convex Functions Teacher Resources

Illustrated diagrams in this tutorial help students understand the properties and functions of lenses.

In Spanish. In this interactive unit learn how to calculate intervals of growth and decay, maximum and minimum value of a function, the intervals of concavity and convexity and the turning points of a function.

A comprehensive guide for learning all about convex shapes with definitions, examples, and practice questions.

Students use the graph of the derivative to answer questions regarding the original function. Maximum, minimum, concavity, and slope are investigated. The handout is available in PDF format.

Locating inflection points on a graph and using them to interpret the shape of the graph are demonstrate here. This lesson is 2 of 9 in the series titled "Finding Inflection Points."
