Curated OER
Differentiability and Linear Approximation
In this linear approximation instructional activity, students determine the derivative of a function and explore properties of the error when using a tangent line to approximate a function graph. This two-page instructional activity...
Curated OER
Linear Approximation
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...
