Calculus students understand a concept best when it is presented in more than one way. This lesson illustrates how a student can understand the definition of a derivative GRAPHICALLY, NUMERICALLY, ANALYTICALLY, AND VERBALLY.
The TI-84 is used in this lesson to view information graphically and numerically. Then as the students describes what they see through tables and graphs, they learn to verbally explain the concept of a derivative. Finally students then look at the derivative analytically after they have explored the concept graphically and numerically.
