Lesson 1: 2.1 The Tangent and Velocity Problems
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Students will be able to estimate the slope of a tangent line and interpret it as a velocity, as well as other real-life rates of change.
1. What does the slope of a tangent line represent?
2. How can we estimate the slope of a tangent line from given data points or from a graph?
- tangent line
- slope
- velocity
