In Spanish. Apply your Calculus knowledge using interactive activities to solve optimization problems.

Students learn about the concept of completing the square by exploring a tutorial. They can then test their knowledge by taking a ten question assessment that increases in difficulty as they correctly answer questions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Determine the range of a given set of data.

Learn how to represent the Five-Number Summary graphically using a box plot.

This lesson could be used as an introductory lesson to introduce group comparisons. Being able to use data to compare two groups is an important skill. Young scholars will sketch box plots using the data given about the cost of haircuts...

Linear programming is a part of a very important area of mathematics called "optimization techniques". This field of study (or at least the applied results of it) are used every day in the organization and allocation of resources. Linear...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers graphing absolute value functions. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and attempt practice problems.

In this activity students will create a class line plot using data collected from boxes of raisins. This activity will be used to collect, organize, represent, and describe data using the line plot.

Here is a site that clearly and thoroughly explains how to solve applied max/min problems using the first derivative. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems. Point this...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Use this interactive flipchart to allow students to explore quadratic functions in algebra.

Given the graph of a function, find its absolute maximum and minimum points. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This is an engineering activity that requires students to build a mousetrap car based on certain constraints. Constraints include students having a virtual budget that they use to buy approved parts for their car, the car having...

Provides large colorful maps of climate data about each continent for the current week, month, or previous quarter.

Explains single slit diffraction and models how to calculate different characteristics of the light waves.

Need to solve Optimization problems in Calculus? This blog illustrates the steps needed to solve them routinely for yourself.

Use this interactive applet to input a series of (x, y) ordered pairs and plot them. Parameters such as minimum and maximum value, minimum and maximum y value, and x- and y-scale can be set by the user or determined by the applet.

Students use an Accelerometer to analyze the motion of a bungee jumper and determine a point where there is maximum and minimum acceleration in the course of the motion. They also compare the experimental data with an actual bungee jump.

Scientists study sea ice extent closely because it influences global climate. Follow the decline in Arctic sea ice in this animation adapted from NASA showing the yearly maximum and minimum sea ice extents from 1999 to 2016. Resources...

In Spanish. This interactive unit introduces the concepts of upper bound, lower bound and maximum and minimum of a sequence of real numbers.
