Year 11 · Mathematics · Lesson Plan · NSW · $4.99 AUD

A Year 11 maths lesson plan introducing the derivative as a gradient function. Students review the gradient of a line, see the derivative explained as the limit of secant gradients approaching a tangent, then use the power rule to differentiate simple powers of x and find the gradient of a curve at a point. Differentiation, an exit ticket and a reflection are included.

Aligned to MA-C1 (NSW).

Students will:
• Explain the derivative as a gradient function
• Differentiate powers of x using the power rule
• Find the gradient of a curve at a point

A ready-to-use lesson plan, supplied as PDF, editable Word (DOCX) and PowerPoint (PPTX).
