Early Calculus scavenger hunt

A good activity once the topic of differentiating powers of x has been introduced.

Instructions

• Print off the twenty question pages and put them up around the room
• Each question is in the centre of the page and the solution is at the top of another page.
• A student begins on a given question, solves it and finds the answer on another sheet. The question on this sheet will be the next question they answer. Once they have answered all twenty, they will return to their starting question
• Depending on numbers, students can all start on different questions
• There is a student answer sheet included plus the correct sequence

Depending on ability of the group this may take longer than 45 minutes. Good algebraic manipulation will determine the length of time needed.
