Pupils practice sample questions from the AP Calculus Exam. They solve calculus problems involving bounded regions, integration, derivatives, and limits. They then answer free response and multiple choice questions on the above mentioned...

Twelfth graders review free response questions that are present on the AP exam. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders analyze the 4 color theorem that proved 4 colors were enough to color a map while still separating adjacent countries....

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...

Learners create and analyze slope fields. In this calculus lesson, students create a visual of differential equations. They use the Ti Navigator to create slope fields.

Students explore the interplay between the geometric and analytic information and on the use of calculus both to predict and to explain the observed local and global behavior of a function. They write a paragraph describing any...

Learners explore estimated and exact results for derivatives, tangent lines, implicit differentiation, and symbolic differentiation. The lesson provides examples with solutions and practice problems. 

Twelfth graders review the properties of derivatives without a calculator to get get ready for their test. In this calculus instructional activity, 12th graders review average rate change, parametric equations, a line tangent to a...

Explore genetic engineering through an engaging "Jurassic Park" unit, which is an extensive use of a cross-curricular teaching event. Planned for AP Biology, English, and Calculus students, learners and teachers are involved for 4-6...

Students make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the instructional activity is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.

Put all of the derivative rules into one basket. The lesson plan stars with warm-up exercises that provide a connection to previously learned concepts. The lesson plan uses the different derivative theorems to calculate a variety of...

Making a clear connection to algebra concepts helps learners understand the definition of a derivative. The lesson begins with looking at limits of simple linear and rational functions, and leads to the definition of the...

Using TI-89, mathematicians explore and investigate Riemann sums to estimate the area under the graphs of intervals by drawing and illustrating rectangles. They review and practice the concepts of summation notation and area formulas to...

Learners match a given velocity graph and sketch the corresponding position graph using a graphing calculator. After collecting data from their everyday life, young scholars use specific functions on their calculators to create graphs...

Through learning about cubic functions, learners graph cubic functions on their calculator.  Students determine the local maximum and minimum points and the tangent line from the x-intercept to a point on the cubic function. ...
