Understanding how our calculus derivative formulas were derived, connects learners to the idea that the study of mathematics is continuous and cumulative. Learners will also develop a deeper appreciation for the short cuts used to find a...

Looking for help in introducing integration by substitution to your calculus students?  Here is a lesson that walks a learner through a review of the change rule, and then by starting with more recognizable derivatives, it helps...

It's shark week! In this problem, young mathematically minded marine biologists need to study the fish population by analyzing data over time. The emphasis is on understanding the average rate of change of the population and drawing...

Provide your students with a framework for introducing indefinite integrals. It takes into account a learner’s prior knowledge of slope fields and definite integrals and uses the notion of an antiderivative to give them an intuitive...

Students explore the concept of ellipses. In this ellipses lesson, they construct ellipses on their paper and follow directions on a worksheet that allow them to investigate an ellipse in more depth by looking at the major axis, foci, etc.
