2. Students will also be able to use this method to find the slope of the tangent line of a
given function at a specific point.

Knowledge Outcomes. (What content knowledge do you want your students to gain as a result
of this lesson? Please refer to the MA Curriculum Frameworks.)

Assessment. (How will you check for student achievement and understanding?)
Homework, questioning students during direct instruction

Instructional Approach. (Describe activities, allotted time, and closure)
1. 9:57-10:12 (15 min.) Check homework and go over homework problems.

2. 10:12-10:25 (13 min): Warm-up activity:
Part 1) Find the derivatives of following examples together.

)


Part 2) Find the slope of the tangent line to the curve at given points. (Students try these
two examples on their own for about 5-10 min.)

3. 10:10-10:30 (20 min.) Direct instruction.
A. Get a students work and show the process of finding the slope of problem 2.
Write down the steps on the board:
1. Find


2. Plug in
3. Get slope
B. In B, it is

. How could we find

? (In the past we know how to find it if we have .

What can we try? (

implies that y is a differentiable function of x. We can


solve for y in terms of x and get

. Then we can find

.
C. Sometimes it is difficult to solve for y. For example,

. And some are


impossible to solve for y:

.
D. Dont you wish you can find

without going through the steps of solving for y?


E. Generalize

F. Find

in exercise B using implicit differentiation and solve for slope.



4. 10:30-10:50 (20 min) Students try problem #2 page 288 on their own.
5. Go over the problem.
6. Do problem

. Find the slope of the tangent line at ( ). (y is a differentiable


function of x)
Parallel thought: How to find

)? And how to find

)?

7. 10:50-10:55 (5 min) Problem #6 on page 288

8. Go over #6 and Assign homework due next time (pp. 288, problems #3-11 odd)

Skills to be emphasized.
Understanding implicit differentiation and using it to find

and slope of the tangent line.
