Does the size of the bin matter? The resource allows pupils to explore the relationship between the normal curve and histograms. Learners view histograms compared to a normal curve with a set standard deviation. Using the interactive,...

Twelfth graders review the fundamental theorem of calculus and solve for the area under the curve. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders differentiate between the area under the curve and the definite integral as it related to the...

Keep moving along a curve. Two items in the set of released free-response questions from the 2010 AP® Calculus BC exam involve movement along a graph. One involves particle motion along a polar curve while the other uses a squirrel...

Where do the questions come from? Individuals examine released items and see the topics included. Teachers use the materials to see the distribution between strictly BC content and that which is shared with AB. The 2002 Calculus BC is...

Take a free look. Released free-response questions from the 2003 AP® Calculus AB exam show how questions cover different topics. Pupils and teachers review the topics of bounded regions, particle movement, rates, relationships between...

Differentiate between the exams. Using the Q&A document, teachers compare the free-response questions that BC test-takers see to those that AB test-takers see. The pupils see which questions come from AB content and also those that...

In this calculus worksheet, students determine the area of a region bounded by the given curves.  The two page worksheet contains three problems.  Answers are not provided. 

In this Riemann Sums worksheet, students use the Riemann Sums method to approximate the area under the curves. This two-page worksheet contains three problems.

Students calculate the area and diameter length of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the use of pivots as they review parts of a circle. They create a circle using cardboard and label all the parts.

Students are introduced to the normal distribution and examine the bell curve controversy.

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...

Young scholars review integrals and how they apply to solving equations. In this calculus activity, students assess their knowledge of area between two curves, arc length, finding the volume using disk, washer and shell method. This...

In this sine and cosine activity, students find derivatives and integrals of 6 functions.  Students find derivatives, indefinite integrals and the area between two curves.

Learning about definite integrals is fundamental to any calculus course. The eighth of 16 parts in Unit 6 - Integration focuses on the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Scholars first see how to find antiderivatives, then discover how to...

For this Calculus worksheet, 12th graders are provided with practice problems for their exam.  Topics covered include limits, derivatives, area bounded by a curve, minimization of cost, and the volume of a solid of revolution. ...

Students investigate the area under a curve and the rate of change.

Demonstrate how the spherical shape of the Earth contributes to unequal heating of its surface and results in varying climates at different latitudes. This would be an illuminating addition to your meteorology lessons, especially when...

Third graders review concepts of fractions, and one-half. They discuss self portraits and the relationships of eyes, nose and mouth to the whole face. Students create base-line self-portraits. On the second day, 3rd graders observe and...

A review of a full unit on energy and matter, this slide show starts with basic definitions of states of matter and their mass. It then develops the ideas of the forces that that matter can exert. Details about bonding within matter and...

This unit on connecting algebra and geometry covers a number of topics including worksheets on the distance formula, finding the perimeter and area of polynomials, the slope formula, parallel and perpendicular lines, parallelograms,...

Students examine the art elements of the Inca "Large Jug." In this visual art instructional activity, students identify the colors, pattern, and shape of the Inca "Large Jug." Students then draw a design on a flat and curved surface and...

Using the empirical rule for a normal distribution, young statisticians determine the percent of adult women with given heights and weights. They find the percentile rank of a woman of a stated height and find the area under a curve.

In this math worksheet students use the intermediate value theorem to solve two problems. They find parallel lines that will cut a convex shape into two pieces with equal areas. Students repeat this problem with a concave shape. Students...

In this geometry problem solving worksheet, students answer 8 words problems based on their knowledge of circles, circumference, radius, diameter, and perimeters. They show their work on the sheet between problems.
