Differentiation
This excel file plots both quadratic and cubic functions along with the graphs of their first and second differential equations.
By specifying the values of the coefficients of either the quadratic or cubic function...
Gradient
This excel program contains a series of interactive spreadsheets designed to explore the concept of a gradient of a curve.
The first activity illustrates that the gradient of a function, at a point P, is the gradient...
Integration
This series of excel sheets look at the area of regions bounded by linear and quadratic graphs.
The first interactive sheet calculates the area under the line y = mx + c between limits A and B. The effect on the area...
Maximum and Minimum
This series of excel sheets look at the turning points of quadratic and cubic functions. New examples can be generated on each sheet every time the resource is used.
The first interactive sheet shows the gradient at...
