The document contains guided notes on derivatives that direct students to fill out the sheet as they go through a Prezi presentation. It asks students to define the derivative, sketch a graph from the presentation and describe it, explain how to calculate the derivative of a function and what it tells us, and complete three derivative exercises. It also asks students to explain what it means for a function to be differentiable and what would happen if the derivative of a function equals zero.
