Flow Ideas that underpin Differential Calculus

Flow – Ideas that underpin Differential Calculus

Presented here is a tried and proven three to five lesson sequence that begins with an engaging real-world context and grows students from the idea of average rate of change to instantaneous rate of change.

It is accessible to any student who has an understanding of average and gradient.

In this collection of resources you will find: a) a three-part introductory video (I, IIa and IIb), which structures the sequence of learning, b) two support video that shows “how to” do the technical stuff on the CG 20 AU.
