Maximizing resources is essential to productivity. Class members complete an activity to show how math can help in the process. Using a piece of construction paper, learners construct a box with the maximum volume. Ultimately, they...

Of course, calculus can help you build the largest box possible. Scholars play a digital game to gain familiarity with situations where optimization would be appropriate. After gaining a solid conceptual understanding of optimization,...

Learn how to solve problems by taking the derivative. Then, through examination of higher order derivatives using the CAS computer program, students create a visual of what is happening with the equation.
