How do you find the stationary points of a graph?

Start by drawing an example graph which contains stationary points, use this to explain what a stationary point is. Explain how we could manipulate the graph to identify these points (explaining differentiation)Execute the method in an example for them - taking them through step by stepAsk them if they would like to explain the method back and then aid them if they need help
