Highlight the process of mathematical discovery for your classes. This lesson examines the development of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus over time. Understanding the history of the theorem helps create a better understanding of the...

Don't get stuck on the integral when you can incorporate partial fractions. A well-explained guide, there are seven pages and a tutorial video that detail the steps for different types of algebraic fractions. 

The inverse of matter is anti-matter, so the inverse of a derivative is an antiderivative. The lesson introduces antiderivatives and indefinite integrals to the class along with the notation for integrals. Groups work together to find...

Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

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...

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...

Sometimes it's important to stop and take the time to review. Pupils look back at the second half of the unit and consider what they have learned about integration. They complete a instructional activity of review problems that assesses...

Exactly how fair are the board games children grow up playing? Young mathematicians investigate this questions as they work their way through this five-lesson series on basic probability. 

From derivatives to antiderivatives and back again. Building on the second activity of the three-part series covering functions, learners explore the concept of an antiderivative. They connect the concept to the graph of the function and...

Learners investigate the intervals represented by a function in this calculus lesson. They decide what interval of the function will be positive, negative or zero. They are then given graphs of functions and asked to analyze it.

Accumulate the content so far. Learners review the content from the first five lessons dealing with accumulation functions. The eight problems go over finding maximums, minimums, concavity, points of inflection, and intervals of increase...

Roll the dice with this multimedia math lesson on probability. After first viewing a series of three short videos explaining probability, independent events, and dependent events, young mathematicians complete a set...

Differentiate between calculus concepts. The beginning of a helpful calculus resource begins with a short review of functions and moves right into limits to define derivatives. The six-chapter resource continues with applications of...

Bring two integrated curriculum resources about Thanksgiving to an elementary social studies unit. The first activity focuses on Squanto's contributions to the early Pilgrims' survival with a gardening activity in which learners add...

This first of twelve algebra 2 resources provides a broad review of many algebra 1 concepts through a number of separable lessons and labs. Starting with the real number system and its subsystems, the sections quickly but thoroughly...

The coordinate plane links key geometry and algebra concepts in this approachable but rigorous unit. The class starts by developing the distance formula from the Pythagorean Theorem, then moves to applications of slope. Activities...

Double click that mouse because you just found an amazing instructional activity! This cross-curricular Ornithology instructional activity incorporates literature, writing, reading informational text, data collection, scientific inquiry,...

Some lessons feature videos, some interactive practice problems, and some have notes and activities. This comprehensive look at factoring and solving polynomial equations using the zero product principle has all of this and more. Though...

Take a great look at integration! Young scholars use an interactive to learn how to integrate a function. Learners input a function and view the integral as well as see a graphical representation.

A three-minute exercise warms-up scholars' writing abilities in order to follow a writing process that ends in an essay. The essay's topic is a barrier and the values used to break it. Four steps include choosing a topic,...

Young scholars calculate the solution using integrals in this calculus lesson plan. They use the TI to create a visual of how to compute integrals. Learners also use substitution by integration and all its properties.

Pupils solve problems using integration by parts in this calculus lesson. Learners apply the product rule and integration by parts. They graph the equation and use the TI to observe the integration process.

Pupils investigate integrals and their relationship to velocity in this calculus lesson. They use the idea of a moving elevator to explore vertical motion and use the TI to help them create a visual.
