Students are grouped together to explore the relationship between the vertex of quadratic functions that they have learned in previous math courses with derivatives and critical numbers in Calculus. By allowing the exploration they are able to think critically, work collaboratively, and use digital technology (graphing calculators or Desmos software) to create connections. At the end of the exploration each group has the chance to speak with me where I invite more conversations about how they made the connection and can apply that to what we are learning in Calculus.
