Circuit Training - Product and Quotient Rules (calculus)
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
Give your students engaging practice with the circuit format! This circuit contains 20 problems which emphasize product and quotient rules. Students must also know the power rule and the derivatives of sine and cosine (but not the other four trig functions... they will derive these as they go through the circuit). There are no logs nor exponentials in this circuit. There is no chain rule (though a few of them you can do by chain rule if you want -- and a few of them you can do by exclusively power rule if you rewrite the function first). There are two problems with symbolic representations of f and g.
There is no answer key included because the answers are imbedded in the circuit (it is how students move from one problem to the next -- the problems are progressive in nature). The only prep the teacher needs to do is work the circuit ahead of the students to see what kind of guided notes/examples should be given before setting the students free on the circuit.
My colleagues and I check our circuits very carefully but should you ever find a mistake or get stuck, please do not hesitate to contact me at virge@virgecornelius.com.
