What you'll learn?
Students will master motion by contrasting instantaneous speed and average speed with a car dashboard analogy, drawing tangent lines accurately, and calculating speed from position‑time graphs. They will also distinguish tangent from secant lines, identify the fastest roller‑coaster point by the steepest slope, and correctly order parabola tangents from steepest to gentlest.
Description
Course Outcomes:
- Distinguish between tangent and secant lines with 100% visual identification accuracy
- Learn the difference between average speed (journey summary) and instantaneous speed (moment reading)
- Learn how car speedometers display instantaneous speed using wheel rotation sensors
- Know that tangent slopes represent instantaneous rate of change on position-time graphs
- Feel curious to explore more mathematics concepts in everyday phenomena
