Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this practice set as a warm-up or a short review activity before a lesson on optimization or curve sketching.
- Discussion Question: What is the difference between a local maximum and a global maximum, and how do we find both?
- Scaffold for struggling students: Encourage students to first identify critical points by finding where the derivative is zero or undefined.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask students to create their own extreme value problem and solve it, justifying their steps.
- Estimated time: 20-30 minutes.
