In this partial derivatives worksheet, students complete one word problem by finding the (x,y) coordinates of a point when it moves parallel to one axis. When given a function, they find six partial derivatives. Students solve four multivariable derivatives. They prove that partial differentiation can be easier than ordinary differentiation.
Students explore traffic flow theory. In this secondary mathematics lesson, students investigate a very basic traffic flow model that predicts the location of a single vehicle in a line of tragic. Students use a spreadsheet to model acceleration, speed, and distance of a moving vehicle.
Seventh graders research the six European "postage stamp" (small) countries and research interesting facts about them. In groups, they are assigned to one of the six countries of Andorra, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco, San Marino, or Vatican City. On poster board, 7th graders create a postage stamp for their country.
In this harmonic function worksheet, students summarize the theorems on analyticity, differentiability and the Cauch-Rieman equation. They identify the characteristics of a harmonic function. This three-page worksheet contains explanations, examples, and four problems.
In this math worksheet, students practice solving the problems that focus upon the concept of partial derivatives. The problems are in the form of a quiz.
Learners study how drums produce sound by building and playing a simple drum. They measure the diameter of their can, then mark a circle two inches larger in diameter on their piece of plastic with the marker or chalk, and cut out the circle of plastic and stretch it tightly on the top of the can, securing it with the rubber band.
In this polynomial instructional activity, students find interpolating functions that can be expressed as a linear combination of basis functions. This four-page instructional activity contains five multi-step problems.
Students explore the concept of Pick's Theorem. In this Pick's Theorem lesson, students use a spreadsheet to observe patterns over a large range of cells. Students analyze perimeter pins and interior pins on a geoboard and a spreadsheet. Students discuss rate of change based on their analysis of the perimeter and interior pins.
