Skills
Students are able to:
- Calculate rate of change over an interval on a table or from an equation.
- Estimate a rate of change over an interval on a graph.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- The average provides information on the overall changes within an interval, not the details within the interval (an average of the endpoints of an interval does not tell you the significant features within the interval).
Vocabulary
- Average rate of change
- Intervals
