Brainstorming ACTIVITY 1: Teacherputs a word at LIM and studentshave to suggestmathconceptsconnected to it Examples of words Students’ suggestions: x-axes / y-axes /variables / domain /points .. Students’ suggestions: Intervals of increasing-descreasing/ maximum / minimum / GRAPH FUNCTION 1°LESSON TYPES OF FUNCTIONS Students’ suggestions: Parabola/ hyperbole/squareroot/exponential/logarithm..
INTEGRATED VOCABULARY Students work in pair to complete the box with the right word. Thentheyread the expressionsaloud. ACTIVITY 2: Complete the following boxes with the options below WORDS: equal / plus / minus / x squared / f(x) over g(x) / squareroot 1°LESSON

DERIVATIVE APPLICATIONS ACTIVITY 5: Jigsaw Method Class isdividedintofivegroups of fourstudents. Eachstudent in the groupisgivenonesheetcontainingtheoryexplanations and examplesreguardingone of the followingtopics: • the definition of derivative and itsgeometricinterpretation, • how to calculate derivative of differentfunctionsusing the definition, • how to calculate derivative of differentfunctionsusinggivenrules and properties, • how to calculate the slope of the tangent line to a givenpoint c and representit. 2°LESSON
DERIVATIVE APPLICATIONS ACTIVITY 5: Jigsawmethod First step: New groups are formed: eachgroupisnowmadeofstudents with same material. Theymustexplaineachotherwhattheyhaveunderstoodbytheirstudy. Students discuss and find out a common explanation and theywrite in theircopybooks. Secondstep: The originalgroups of students are composedagain and eachstudentexplainshistopic. The otherstudentslisten and write in theircopybooks. Teacherhastoobserve the activity and supports the differentgroups. 2°LESSON
