Logarithmic and Exponential Murder Mystery Project and Lab
Solving exponential and logarithmic equations are fun and engaging in this mystery project. In this project students will work to test the stories of four suspects, Mrs. White, Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, and Professor Plum. Each suspect has a defense for the crime but only math can prove if they are telling the truth.Exponential modeling using Newton's Law of Cooling is used to find the time of the murder. Exponential decay models are used to find how much poison was used.This two-three day

AP Calculus Optimization Discovery Project with M&Ms!
Optimization is a tricky topic in calculus. This one-day activity allows students to discover how calculus can help them. Each student (or small group) starts with an index card, which will be cut and folded up to form a box. First they calculate what would happen if the box is made various ways, and see that the volume changes depending on the size of the cuts.Next students develop an equation and apply calculus to determine how to create a box with maximum volume - so that they can fill it up

Circuit Training - Implicit Differentiation (calculus)
Give your students engaging practice with the circuit format! In order to advance in the circuit, students must search for their answer (sometimes it is dy/dx evaluated at a specified point, sometimes it is just dy/dx). These 16 questions are progressive in nature and so it could even be used as guided notes. I generally use circuits after I have given only a few examples in notes, then let the idea unfold for the students as they work quasi-cooperatively on the circuit. This format has allo

Circuit Training - U-Substitution with Definite Integrals (calculus)
This 20-question circuit will keep your students highly engaged and give them great practice with the technique of substitution. After students evaluate the definite integral, they must search for their answer and this problem becomes the next definite integral for them to work. Includes trig, log, and exponential functions. There is one inverse tangent integrand 1/(1+x^2) which does not require u-substitution, but I always include these when I teach u-sub since students confuse that one.My s
