Graphing Derivatives Teacher Resources

Learn to solve functions by taking the derivatives. In this calculus instructional activity, students compare the graph of a derivative to that of the original function.

In this derivatives worksheet, students solve 16 short answer problems. Students use a graph of a derivative to determine local maximums and minimums, concavity, inflection points, etc.

In this math worksheet, students answer 7 questions having to do with graphing derivatives of functions, rectilinear motion, speed and distance.

In this function worksheet, students explain continuous and noncontinuous function and graph derivatives. This two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with defining and drawing the graph of a derivative. The lesson includes a definition and examples to lead them away from any misconceptions. They graph derivatives using examples that are...

Learners graph the derivative of functions in this calculus lesson. They use the TI to graph their functions and algebraically take the derivative of each function. They then create a visual and analyze the graph.

In this graphs and derivatives worksheet, students graph the derivative of a function. They find the intervals and identify the maximum and minimum. This one page worksheet contains three multi-step problems.

In this derivative worksheet, students find the derivatives of given functions and graph a function. They identify the intervals which are increasing, decreasing or remain constant. This two-page worksheet contains approximately twenty...

In this derivative worksheet, students find the derivative of given functions. They identify the equation of a line tangent to a specified function. This three-page worksheet contains 22 multi-step problems.

In this review instructional activity, students evaluate given limits. They evaluate graphs. This four-page instructional activity contains 27 multi-step problems. Answers are provided on pages three and four.

What does dropping a ball look like as a graph? An engaging activity asks learners to record a video of dropping a ball and uploading the video to software for analysis. They compare the position of the ball to time and calculate the...

Using the unit circle and the values of _ at 0, ¹/2, ¹, and 3¹/2, the instructor shows how to construct the cosine graph by translating the x-coordinate of the unit circle to the graph. She then looks at the domain, range, amplitude,...

Sixth in a series of 36, this lesson focuses on gases and their behavior in given situations. Learners review the states of matter and then focus on gases, specifically learning Boyle's, Charles's, Avogadro's Laws, Dalton's, and Graham's...

Students explore and derive functions. In this calculus lesson, students graphs a function and find the derivative of each function as they compare exponential graphs. They relate and compare each function to its derivative.
