This example demonstrates how to graph the derivative of a function by calculating the slope of the tangent line at various points on the function's graph. Key mathematical concepts involved include the geometric meaning of the derivative (slope of the tangent line) and the local rate of change of a function. The construction highlights the use of GeoGebra commands like Tangent, Slope, and Textfield to dynamically display tangent slopes and accumulate the derivative graph. Suitable for high school students and above to learn and understand the concept of derivatives and their applications.
