Study Poster Project

_______________________________________________________
A derivative is going to play a vital role in the rest of this class. For this reason, its essential
to understand what a derivative is and how a derivative can be used. For this project, I
would like for you to submit a study poster on a single sheet of paper that details all
the essential characteristics of a derivative that we discussed in class. You may also
complete the project by using Popplet. You must incorporate at least one graphic
organizer in your poster. This can be a flow chart, concept web, Venn Diagram, etc. Your
aim should be to utilize creativity and color to generate a study poster that would assist a
student who is confused on what a derivative is and why its important.
Essential components:
1. One sheet of paper, unless completed using Popplet
2. A variety of color to differentiate important information
3. All of the following information
a. Definitions for a derivative
i. How slope and tangent line are related to derivative
b. The three interpretations of a derivative with examples
c. The motivation for finding derivatives
d. Define speed, velocity, and acceleration
i. Explain how a derivative is related to these three terms
ii. Explain how the slope speed generates velocity, and the slope of
velocity generates acceleration

The project will be graded out of 20 points and will determined as follows
