Derivative+fun+stuff

A fun 1 day activity to get kids to explore rates, derivatives and linearizations:

Hungry? Try some derivative brownies! - Steven Willott

- Sudoku/BINGO

Sudoku Puzzles - Curt Sauer

- Fred Rible Covers some basic derivatives (first and second derivatives using power rule, sine, cosine, exp/logs). There's no scoring built in, but the navigation buttons work well to get you around the game. There's a "secret" off-color blue button in the bottom right of the game grid to take you to Final Jeopardy. The file itself contains some slides from other versions I play; they won't show up in slide show mode as you play this game.
