Sum Rule Teacher Resources

Students learn how to compute the derivative using the power, sums, and constant multiples rules. Topics include differential notation and negative exponents. The tutorial explores the calculus concepts through notes and examples.

Students review derivative rules. Topics include power, sum, and constant multiple rules. The resource consists of review exercises available in three different levels.

Video lesson solving the second part and the third part of a free response problem from the 2008 AP Calculus BC exam about people waiting in line to purchase tickets. Solution requires finding a trapezoidal sum and critical points. [10:42]

Video shows how to use a table of values to determine the approximate rate of change at a given time. Also explains what a definite integral means in terms of the situation and shows how to use a trapezoidal sum to estimate the integral....

Calculus AB example questions: Approximating rate of change and total area under a curve. Trapezoidal sums to approximate integrals

The integration tool integrates and graphs functions that student enter into the tool. The tool uses the trapezoidal rule, Riemann sums, and Simpson rule to integrate the function.
