Given examples of circles and the lines that intersect them, the student will use explorations and concrete models to formulate and test conjectures about the properties and relationships among the resulting segments.

This document looks at look at the difference between averages and instantaneous rates of change. Formulas are provided for average speed, instantaneous speed, the slope of a secant line, the slope of a tangent, and the slope of a curve...

This site offers numerous activities for middle school and high school students to explore using Geometer's Sketch Pad.

The handout investigates the calculus concept that given a section of a smooth curve, there is at least one point on that section where the slope of the curve is the same as the average derivative. The exercise consists of a graph that...

This site allows the student to input the curves and the curve will be plotted.

The examples presented here demonstrates finding the derivative of a function using "h" rather than "delta x" notation. Graphs are included as a visual aid.

This Northeast Parallel Architectures Center at Syracuse University site includes a table of contents that contains information and examples on the topic of implicit differentiation.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

An introduction to solving trigonometric equations, including finding general and particular solutions. The connection between the tangent function and the slope of a line is also covered. Includes several examples and graphs.

This lesson from the Hofstra University discusses the derivative. The lesson begins with the average rate of change of a function and discusses how this is related to the derivative of a function at a point. The site gives visual aids...
