Solve problems using integration and derivatives. By using calculus, learners will analyze graphs to find the extrema and change in behavior. They then will identify the end behavior using the derivatives. Activities and handouts are...

Students calculate the volume of solids. In this calculus activity, students apply the Disk and Washer Method to solve for the volume of three dimensional objects. They calculate the volume caused by rotation that create...

Students calculate the maxima and minima of quadratic equations. In this calculus lesson, students apply the derivatives by finding the maxima and minima using real life application. They solve optimization using the derivative. 

Students use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to solve problems. In this calculus lesson, students use the TI to solve the graphing porting of the problem. They practice graphing functions and discuss their place in the real world.

Calculus students use the derivative and integral to solve problems involving areas. They calculate the area under a curve as they follow a robot off road making different curves along the drive, using Riemann Sums and...

Twelfth graders explore Derive.  In this Calculus lesson, 12th graders investigate the menus and tools available in Derive.  In addition to the familiarization part of the lesson, students investigate Pascal’s Triangle,...

Students investigate poverty using graphs. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data on the effects of poverty and use different rules to analyze the data. They graph and use the trapezoid rule to interpret the data.

Students use interactive white boards to solve math problems. In this math problems lesson plan, students produce math casts where they can solve problems, write out descriptions, and communicate what they know and do not know on the...

Students use math functions in part to complete a metaphorical lesson on tolerance. In this math and tolerance lesson, students receive rows of functions and try to find a single simple shared property without success. Students then...

Students calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra activity, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Students analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.
