Have you ever wanted to find the rate of change for a raindrop which has fallen into a puddle? Well, neither did we, but this week Ms. Chan’s AP Calculus class looked into the wonderful world of related rates! Related rates are math problems which involve at least two variables that change at the same time. Students solved various world problems using their knowledge of differentiation, including finding the rate of change for balloons whose radius is increasing by one inch per minute to hailstones growing at a rate of 1 mm^3 per minute.
