About this resource

This quiz covers advanced differential calculus concepts appropriate for 11th or 12th grade students enrolled in AP Calculus AB. The questions assess mastery of implicit differentiation, chain rule applications, related rates problems, derivatives of inverse functions, and logarithmic/exponential differentiation. Students must demonstrate fluency with fundamental differentiation rules while applying them to complex, multi-step problems that mirror real-world scenarios. The related rates problems require students to set up equations modeling geometric relationships, apply the chain rule to find rates of change, and interpret results in context. Success on these problems demands strong algebraic manipulation skills, geometric reasoning, and the ability to connect abstract mathematical concepts to practical situations involving moving objects and changing quantities. Created by Isaac Townsend, a mathematics teacher in the US who teaches grades 10-12. This comprehensive assessment serves multiple instructional purposes, from formative evaluation during the implicit differentiation and related rates unit to summative review before AP examinations. Teachers can deploy individual sections as targeted practice for specific concepts, use the related rates word problems as collaborative group work to develop problem-solving strategies, or assign the entire quiz as homework to reinforce classroom instruction. The variety of question types makes this particularly effective for identifying students who need additional support with chain rule applications or conceptual understanding of rate problems. This quiz aligns with Common Core standards HSF-IF.B.6 for calculating average rate of change and HSA-CED.A.3 for representing constraints with systems of equations, while supporting AP Calculus AB learning objectives related to differentiation techniques and applications.
