Daily 10

Standard: Definition of the derivative

Learning Target: I understand how limits relate to derivatives. I can find the tangent to a function.

Success Criteria: I can find the limit as x approaches a. I can do the algebra associated with finding a limit. 

Introduction/Connection: In the past you have learned how to find the slope of a line. Do you think you can find the slope of a curve? How? How could this possibly relate to limits?

Direct Instruction: Notes on tangents

Guided Practice: Work example problems

Independent/Collaborative Practice/Differentiation: Scaffolding throughout lesson

Summarize/Check for Understanding: Give the definition of the derivative

Assignment: HW: Pg 125-7 #3-19 odd, 23, 27-43 eoo, 45, 51-55 odd
