This CoRD is designed to increase students’ ability to connect function values, limits, derivatives, and second derivatives to graphical representations. Student will create graphs at four different times within Calculus I with information given: function values, limiting behavior, derivatives, and second derivatives. Students will examine the graphs that they and their peers create to identify commonalities and notice differences that still adhere to the information given. A subsequent activity at each of these four junctures will encourage communication among students by having one verbally describe a given graph while a second sketches those details on a given non-standard axis.
