Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

Young mathematicians solve problems involving limits in this calculus lesson. They identify the value of x as the limit approaches positive and negative infinity. Learners study the magnitude as x increases in value.

Students identify and comprehend the concept of limit in mathematics. They also view artistic works illustrating limits by M. C. Escher and apply techniques of one-sided limits to graphs of relations. Finally, students compute limits...

Learners solve limit problems.   In this solving limit problems lesson plan, students use L'Hopital's Rule.  Learners apply L'Hopital's Rule to functions as long as the derivative of the top function and bottom function is...

Students find the derivatives of functions.  In this finding the derivatives of functions lesson, students use the definition of derivative to take the derivative of a function.  Students discuss scenarios in which the...

Examine key features of various functions through exploration. A comprehensive activity has learners describe the domain, range, end behavior and increasing/decreasing intervals of various functions. Function types include linear,...

In this matter and motion worksheet, young scholars solve 4 different problems that relate to determining the matter and motion of a function problem. First, they find the limit of a as n to infinity and then, determine whether each...

Learners calculate derivatives from a set of data. In this calculus lesson plan, students estimate the limit at infinity. They complete a Return Interval handout at the end of the lesson plan.

Students prepare for the calculus concepts of limits by examining sequences that converge and diverge. By using an Excel program that generates sequences, students manipulate the starting number, multiplier and add-on values, and examine...

Middle and high schoolers identify and analyze fractals and research information using the Internet to locate information about them. They look at fractals in relation to nature and other real world situations. Pupils create several...

Fourth graders determine the range, mean, median and mode using a computer spreadsheet. An identical set of calculations is done without using a computer. The results of each method are compared. They calculate the mode, median and range...

Young scholars make an inquiry with the aid of technology into the concept of functions. The emphasis of the lesson is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information.
