And then they say you can plug in numbers into the linearization to approximate f ( x ). In their example, they say that if f ( x ) = x + 3 then the linearization L ( x ) = 4 7 + 4 x . Pucky was reading the section in the book about linearization. And he thinks he's found it! Yep, this is another in the 'Pucky' series and he probably hopes it'll be the last so the camera gets out of his face. You can find her amazing (and FREE!) tangent line scavenger hunt here.Pucky Catches the Book Lying!! Pucky is still upset about having to use the Chain Rule and is out looking for revenge against our textbook this week. All questions in this activity are Calc Medic original questions but use her original formatting and template. Ī huge shoutout to Emily Kennedy Farrar who introduced me to this Scavenger Hunt form of review.

Since students can start at any station, their answer might start at a different letter and loop around (example: LYHOGSPRICK would be a correct solution). The correct order of stations should spell P-R-I-C-K-L-Y-H-O-G-S. This will make it easy for you to check their work.

Students should keep track of their work on a scrap piece of paper and also record the letters of each station in the order that they visit them. Post the papers around the room, being sure to mix them up and NOT post them in the same order as they appear in the file.

Going over homework problems or allowing students time to work on homework problems is an easy choice. The scavenger hunt has students work through 11 chain rule problems in pairs or trios. In today’s activity, students will build procedural fluency with the chain rule.
