This worksheet starts with a refresher of the 2 methods to find the equation of a straight line if we know its gradient and a point it passes through.
The next section is on finding tangents. There is an introduction with an explanation of the method, a couple of examples to work through as a class, and then 15 questions for students to do themselves.
The next section is on finding normals. Again, there is an introduction with an explanation of the method, a couple of examples to work through as a class, and then 10 questions for students to do themselves.
All answers to the students questions are included.
Note that this resource was designed specifically for the Level 2 Further Maths qualification, so only covers differentiating functions with positive integer powers such as y=5x^3-4x+2, but can still be used an introduction to the general method of finding tangents and normals to a curve.
