Rate-of-change: From Algebra to Calculus
,
Holiday Inn Portland, Columbia Event Center B, Lobby level
Rate-of-change is a concept that students encounter several times through the course of their middle and high school math classes. How can we build comprehension of the concept instead of memorizing an equation? In this session, we will explore rate-of-change through several applied contexts to develop the concept for students.
