Calculus Teaching Quiz

What is the key idea to emphasize when teaching students about rates of change?

• The average rate of change of a function over a specific interval represents the average rate at which the function is changing over that interval.

• Riemann sums are used to approximate integrals of functions.

• The derivative of a function represents the rate at which the function is changing at a given point.

• Integration is the accumulation of quantities over an interval.

What is the instantaneous rate of change of a function at a specific point?

• An approximation method for calculating integrals.

• The rate at which the function is changing at that exact moment.

• The accumulation of quantities over an interval.

• The rate at which the function is changing over a specific interval.

What is the fundamental concept of integration?
