Area under a Graph
What? The calculation of area is a linear distance? A short video shows how to use the areas of simple polygons to estimate the area under a graph. Pupils divide the area under a curve into figures to easier calculate the area. Given...

Calculus AB/BC - Exploring Accumulation of Change
Add up area to find total change. Pupils learn what it means to find the area under a curve and how to calculate it geometrically. They first find the accumulation of change given a rate of change function. Scholars then apply that...

Calculus AB/BC - Approximating Areas with Riemann Sums
There are several ways to estimate the area if the curve does not create nice geometric figures. The presenter introduces the idea of using areas of rectangles to estimate the area under the curve. Pupils use four types of Riemann Sums,...

Calculus AB/BC - The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and Definite Integrals
Learning about definite integrals is fundamental to any calculus course. The eighth of 16 parts in Unit 6 - Integration focuses on the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Scholars first see how to find antiderivatives, then discover how to...
