This is an engaging activity on the chain rule. On each page/slide students are given the solution of one problem and another similar problem to the first one to try to solve it by their own. Each problem consists of two sub problems - a) problem which is finding the first derivative and b) problem - computing the first derivative at a point (for a given value of the variable x). There are given the solutions of 8 problems and 8 similar to them problems for independent work. Functions included are composition of polynomial, rational, radical,exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric and inverse trigonometric functions. The last three problems are more challenging - students have to find the first derivative of a function of the type f(g(h(x))) using first the power rule for the function f. The product can be used after teaching a lesson on the chain rule, as an independent/extra practice and homework assignment. Answer keys are included. NOTE: This product is created as a Google Slides product. I have converted it to PDF item here. I have included 2 PDF files - the one has each slide as a page and the other has two or three slides on a page for easy and more economic printing!

This activity practices finding 16 derivatives using the chain rule. Composite functions include polynomials, rational fractions, radicals, trig and inverse trig expressions, exponential expressions and natural logarithmic functions. Students have to solve 8 complicated problems - examples of 8 functions where each function is expressed as the sum of two composite functions. Students will need to use linear combination rule to find the derivatives of these 8 functions. Thus, they will solve coupled problems consisting of two sub – problems (practice 2 in 1) in three steps. This can be used as a class practice/independent practice in 2 steps or as a partner activity (Partner A will find the derivative of one addend of the function while Partner B computes the derivative of the other addend, then partners will sum their derivatives to find the answer of the problem). These worksheets can be also used for enrichment or homework. Typed solutions to problems are provided.

Students are asked to find these coefficients and fill in the corresponding empty squares for the answer. This resource can be used for class work, independent practice or partner activity, for enrichment and homework assignment. Full typed solutions to the problems are provided.

This activity practices finding derivatives (a total of 12 various examples) using the chain rule. Functions include polynomials, radicals, trig and inverse trig functions, exponential functions and natural logarithms. Activity Directions: Students have to compute 12 derivatives. They are asked to use a table given to find the mathematician’s name corresponding to each of their answers. (To facilitate students all the answers correct and incorrect are labeled with big Latin letters and are contained in another table.) If students find all the derivatives correctly, they will learn 12 names of mathematicians involved in calculus. This activity can be used as a class practice. (Students could compete to see who can get all or most names first). It can be also used for groups of 2 (each partner will solve 6 problems) or independent activity. Solutions (handwritten clearly) to the problems are provided.

This resource contains total of 20 problems. Students will practice differentiation using the chain rule. The composite functions include polynomials, rational, radicals, trig and inverse trig, exponential and logarithmic expressions. The packet has 2 worksheets of 10 derivative problems. The worksheets can be possibly used as two different forms for partner activity like that: ⟡ Partner A will solve WS # 1 while Partner B solves WS # 2, then they swap papers and Partner A will solve WS # 2 while Partner B solves WS # 1. Once they have completed the work, they compare their results. If there are different answers to one and the same problem, students have to identify and correct any errors. The worksheets can be also used for an extra practice or enrichment, an assessment or homework assignment. If you download this product, please take a moment to leave your comments. I LOVE hearing from you ❣❣❣
