Instructional Ideas
- Use the card match game as part of a review
Classroom Considerations
- Learners should have access to a slope field program on a graphing calculator or be able to input such a program (instructions are given in the resource)
- Pupils must be familiar with differential equations and antiderivatives
Pros
- Provides a list of previous AP® exam questions to reference
- Includes handouts for activities
Cons
- Gives only a general outline, not an actual lesson plan
