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...

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...

The behavior of a rational function near a vertical asymptote is the focus around this trip up a river. Specifically, numerical and graphical understanding is studied. The canoe context pushes the variables as numbers, rather than as...

Learners rearrange equations and formulas to solve for a specified variable. Includes multi-step equations with a variety of different variables and a few real-world applications. Great for use as a study guide when presenting the...

Does where we live influence how our bodies express genetic traits? Explore variation in human skin color with an activity that incorporate video and hands-on learning. Individuals model the relationship between phenotypes and genotypes,...

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...
