Estimating Rates of Change (A) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: Algebra I, IM 1
CCSS: HSF.IF.B.6
CCSS Description: Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval; estimate the rate of change from a graph.

Estimating Rates of Change (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet is designed to give practice on finding instantaneous and average rates of change via a tangent or chord to a curved graph. Learners will need to draw the tangents and chords before finding the slope. Section A provides two curved functions and asks for the slopes of tangents at specific points. Section B looks at comparing an instantaneous rate of change from a tangent with an average rate of change from a chord.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.
