Big Ideas: What is a derivative? How can it be described in non-mathematical language and how can it be described graphically? How is a derivative computed and how can we recognize what derivative rules to use? What are some applications of derivatives? Unit Goals and Objectives: Goals: The purpose of this unit is to expose students and teach students about the basics of derivatives. Students will learn what a derivative is in simple mathematical terms. Students will be able to explain differentiability. Students will learn the different ways to compute derivatives. Students will learn the rules of derivatives, as well the derivatives of trigonometric functions. Students will know how derivatives are applied to moving objects. Objectives: Students will be exposed to the idea of the derivative as the slope of a tangent line to a graph. Students will learn to use the limit definition of a derivative. Students will know if a function is differentiable based on its graph. Students will be able to recognize and use the product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule. Students will continue their introduction on proof writing, particularly with the rules of derivatives. Students will memorize and be able to compute the derivatives of trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential, etc. functions. Students will compute higher ordered derivatives. Using derivatives, students will learn to find and analyze velocity and acceleration of moving objects.

Unit Summary: The digital unit plan is on the introduction to derivatives. There will be online activities to complete, from gathering information and interacting with digital tool. We will begin by learning the definition of the derivative and what a derivative actually is. We will learn how continuity deals with differentiability. This will give us the tools necessary to learn the shortcuts, or the rules, of derivatives. This will lead to the applications of derivatives. How are they used? Why are they important? Assessment Plan: Entry-Level: Formative: Summative: Review continuity. Review what a limit is. Non graded quiz on the use of the unit circle, composite functions and basic physics properties.
