Today we played cards, calculus style! We had a stack of cards with graphs on each card. Our job, as a class, was to put the cards into families of three: function, derivative of the function, and derivative of the derivative of the function.Polynomials were easy to sort because the derivative of a power of x decreases by one each time so the families were quadratic, linear, constant or cubic, quadratic and linear etc, etc. Turning points (local maxs and mins) on the graph of a function created zeros on the graph of the derivative and functions with asymptotes had asymptotes in the graphs of their derivatives.
