This is a PowerPoint presentation that leads through the process of finding maximum and minimum points using differentiation. It starts off with simple examples, explaining each step of the working. It gradually builds the difficulty until students will be able to find turning points on graphs with more than one turning point and use calculus to determine the nature of the turning points.
I have found in the pass that students are able to follow this process when taught but often do not understand each step. As a result, they often use the wrong equation (for example, they use the equation for dy/dx to try to find y or make simple errors. This presentation is designed to lead the students through the process with an understanding of each step.
NOTE: I have updated the PowerPoint to now include an example of how this can be used to solve practical problems.
