Numerical Approximation Teacher Resources

In this math worksheet, students practice using the number approximations to apply them to the integrations. They compare the numerical methods and graph the results in the data table.

In this math worksheet, students explore the concept of numerical quadrature by reading the definition. Students sketch an approximation for the trapezoid.

In this math worksheet, students practice using the concept of numerical integration. They also practice the approximation for the unit circle.

Here's an AP Calculus video that provides a discussion on determining an approximate for the area under a curve by calculating the sum of areas of rectangles that is smaller than the area and by finding the sum of areas of...

Young mathematicians define and use Euler's method to solve problems in this calculus lesson. Learners visualize graphs and solve differential equations. They create these visuals on the TI calculator.

Student approximate the roots of E using Newtons Method. In this calculus lesson, students calculate the equation of tangent a line. They use the TI to visualize the tangent line.

Learners graph Taylor polynomials. For this calculus lesson, students relate accuracy of a Taylor polynomial to the degree of the equation. They graph their polynomials using the TI calculator.

In this e worksheet, students are presented with several facts about e and Euler.  Students are also given a technique to help them remember the numerical approximation for e.

Here's a video that demonstrate the meaning of possible and relative error using differentials. As the instructor works through the problem, he gives formulas for determining the different types of errors. He shows two approaches to the...

What does dropping a ball look like as a graph? An engaging activity asks learners to record a video of dropping a ball and uploading the video to software for analysis. They compare the position of the ball to time and calculate the...

How do you find the area of an irregular shape? Class members calculate the area of an irregular shape by finding the area of a random sampling of the shape. Individuals then utilize a confidence interval to improve accuracy and use a...
