| 1.7 | Differentiating powers and the chain rule Roots and reciprocals are just powers in disguise, so one rule handles them all. | Rally Coach | 6 Q, 21 marks | 8 MCQ | none |
| 1.7 | Tangents, normals and rates of change The derivative gives the gradient of the tangent, so it gives the tangent and the normal too. | Numbered Heads Together | 6 Q, 22 marks | 8 MCQ | none |
| 1.7 | Stationary points and their nature At the top of a hill or the bottom of a valley the tangent is horizontal. | Think-Pair-Share | 6 Q, 29 marks | 8 MCQ | tab 6 |
