Lesson Plan: Slope Fields and Solution Curves Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to draw slope fields, which help visualize the general solution of first-order differential equations graphically.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- draw slope fields for first-order ordinary differential equations,
- understand how the slope field relates to the general solution to a differential equation.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- differentiation.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- solving differential equations.
