Rebecca B. Lesson Planet has helped me give some great extending activities that I hadn't thought of before. It has also helped me be able to deliver a quality lesson when life gets busy, when I'm forced to be on the fly and not as prepared as I'd like to be.

Summing it Up-ID:  10094

Students explore the area under a curve.  For this calculus lesson, students investigate Riemann sums as they employ technology to discover that if enough Riemann sums are used. Students then determine whether the area under a curve can be calculated with the required degree of precision.  TI-nspire and appropriate applications are required.


Sums of Powers and Their Derivatives

Twelfth graders explore the Computer Algebra System of a calculator.  In this calculus lesson, 12th graders investigate the capabilities of a graphing calculator to assist with explorations into calculus principles and proof.
