Test the accuracy of your tangents via this interactive activity. Check your accuracy of the tangent distance (distance of tangent to the point given) and the gradient percentage difference (difference in the value of the slope).
Finding the gradients of tangents to the curve
on Youtube by Mark Willis
Learn how to draw the tangent to a curve and calculate the gradient in this youtube video.
5.4 Graphs of Simple Sums of Power Functions
5.5 Graphs in Practical Situations
Depth - time graphs of liquids poured into containers
on Youtube by Corbettmaths
Learn how the rate of the depth increases as liquids are poured into various shaped containers.
5.6 Real-World Context
on Teacher Desmos
Students will compare a linear graph and exponential graph, determining which is the best method to receive their wages. The activity is scaffolded and can be used as an introduction on exponential graphs.
