(GRADE 11 – BASIC CALCULUS)

C. Explore – Understanding Change


Teacher: Can you give real-life examples where change happens?

Teacher: How do we describe how fast the change is happening?

Expected Answer: We describe it using rate, such as speed or growth.

Teacher: Is the change always the same?

Expected Answer: No, it varies.

Teacher: Why measure change at a specific instant?

Expected Answer: To know the exact rate at a moment.

Teacher: This is where derivatives are used—to measure instantaneous rate of change.

Derivative – in simple term it tells us how fast something is changing.


Differentiation – Differentiation is the process of finding how fast a function is changing

D. Explain – Rules of Differentiation


1. Constant Rule

The derivative of a constant is zero.

Why? Because a constant is a value that does not change, so its derivative is zero because
there is no change to measure.

How do we know if it is a constant? A number is a constant if it does not have a variable


(like x etc…).

Example: d/dx (5) = 0

2. Power Rule

Multiply the exponent by the coefficient and reduce the exponent by 1.

Example: d/dx (x^4) = 4x^3

3. Sum/Difference Rule
For sum and difference rule, we just differentiate each term one by one, then add or
subtract them.

Example: d/dx (x^2 + x) = 2x + 1

Example: d/dx (x^3 - x^2) = 3x^2 - 2x

E. Elaborate – Group Activity


Direction: Work collaboratively to solve the given functions.

Teacher: Identify the rule used and show complete solutions.

Teacher: Be ready to explain your answers.

F. Evaluate – Quiz
Direction: Solve individually. Apply the correct differentiation rules.

Teacher: Show your solutions clearly.

G. Extend – Assignment
Direction: Solve the given problems and provide one real-life example of rate of change.

Closing Statement
Teacher: Today, you learned how derivatives measure change. This concept is useful in real-
life applications such as motion and growth.
