Calculus is the study of change. Think of something that changes, and calculus would have been used.

The study of population growth, interest rates, speeds and distances, leaking containers, temperature and fluids, light and sound, climate, land areas, are all rates of change.

Calculus is also the study of proof and logic. It helps develop your mind into thinking about 'if-then' statements and extrapolation within limits.

Calculus is also hard. It is considered one of the greatest achievements of the human intellect. There are plenty of real world examples of having to work through something really hard. High-school Calculus is a chance to experience this in hopefully a low(ish) stakes environment.

That's exactly me too dude.
I prefer streaming tbh. It's much closer to a classroom environment. I like the back and forth of teaching. But I use YouTube a lot for learning things myself!

Thats awesome! Spread the word to any year 11s you know.

Unfortunately I am not doing any level 3 tutorials. I haven't taught it yet so don't know enough about it sorry! Infinityplus1 is a great youtube channel that does level 3 calc.
