AP Calculus AB Unit 3 Overview

This document outlines the week-long lesson plan for an AP Calculus AB unit on the definition of the derivative. Each day focuses on a different aspect of derivatives: the average rate of change and definition of the derivative (Day 1), the relationship between the derivative and tangent line (Day 2), interpreting derivatives in real-world contexts (Day 3), using derivatives to sketch curves based on the first and second derivatives (Days 4-5), and a review and test on Friday (Days 6-7). Students are assigned related homework problems each day to reinforce the topics covered in class.
