The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC) can be tricky for Year 9 students.
Many find it hard to understand its two main ideas:
Connection Between Differentiation and Integration
It can be confusing to see how differentiation (finding rates of change) and integration (finding areas) work against each other.
Using It in Real Life
Using the FTC to find things like areas under curves or how much something has changed over time needs a good grasp of basic math ideas.
Even though learning the FTC can be tough, students can get better with some practice and help by:
Once students master the FTC, they can solve real-world problems more easily!
