Introduction to Differentiation

Students begin by learning how to differentiate basic expressions involving x raised to a power using the power rule.

As their understanding develops, they progress to differentiating expressions with both positive and negative powers, exploring how these impact the resulting derivative. They also recognise that the derivative of a constant is zero.
