STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:Applications of Derivatives
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill
focus)
Numbers, measures, expressions, equations, and inequalities can represent
mathematical situations and structures in many equivalent forms.
Patterns exhibit relationships that can be extended, described, and generalized.
Relations and functions are mathematical relationships that can be represented
and analyzed using words, tables, graphs, and equations.
There are some mathematical relationships that are always true and these
relationships are used as the rules of arithmetic and algebra and are useful for
writing equivalent forms of expressions and solving equations and inequalities.
Mathematical functions are relationships that assign each member of one set
(domain) to a unique member of another set (range), and the relationship is
recognizable across representations.
Families of functions exhibit properties and behaviors that can be recognized
across representations. Functions can be transformed, combined, and composed
to create new functions in mathematical and real world situations.
Bivariate data can be modeled with mathematical functions that approximate
the data well and help us make predictions based on the data.
Degree and direction of linear association between two variables is measurable.
