Using Desmos to Support the Chain Rule
When finding derivatives using the chain rule, a common student error is to "forget the chain". By visually confirming the derivative equation they calculated matches the derivative graph generated by Desmos, students can confirm correct rule choice and correct application of rules. If the graphs don't match, students can then make small changes to their equation until the derivatives match.
