In this function learning exercise, students identify all numbers in the interval. They determine open intervals, find the local maximum and local minimum. This two-page learning exercise contains eight problems.

In this interval worksheet, learners identify the largest interval for a given situation.   They explore and explain functions, their derivative, relative maximum, and relative minimum.  Students graph functions and...

In this A. P. Calculus AB worksheet, students solve seventeen multiple-choice problems with a graphing calculator.  This worksheet is designed as a practice test for the A.P. Exam and should be timed.

In this Calculus activity, students are provided with practice problems for their exam.  Topics covered include derivatives, area bounded by a curve, local maximum, instantaneous rate of change, and the volume of a solid of...

In this Calculus worksheet, students are provided with questions that are reflective of the content of their exam.  Topics covered include derivatives, volume of a solid of rotation, local maximum and minimum, and integration. ...

In this differentiation worksheet, students find an equation of a line tangent to a curve. They use linear approximation to estimate answers. This two-page worksheet contains approximately 12 multi-step problems.

Pupils determine the monotonicity and concavity properties of a function, then apply the First Derivative Test and draw conclusions about the first and second derivatives from these properties.
