Linear Approximation Teacher Resources

In this algebra worksheet, students solve problems using estimation and the derivative. They calculate the critical points, domain and indicated intervals. They calculate the first and second derivative. There are 5 problems.

Pupils practice examining the tangent to a function to estimate the value of the function near the point of tangency. They view errors associated with those approximations, determine overestimates and find intervals that guarantee a...

Students make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the instructional activity is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.

In this calculus worksheet, students answer 14 short-answer questions regarding Euler's Method, rate equations, initial conditions, and slope functions.
