Circuit Training - Precal / Trig Review for (AP) Calculus NO CALCULATOR
These 24 problems are great to use with your calculus students within the first few days of the school year. Reviews everything from asymptotes to domain and range, logs to sine and cosine. Worked in are calculus ideas such as limits, tangent lines and average rate of change. The intention is to work all of these without technology to build your students' fluency and wean them off of their calculators. The circuit format allows your students to work semi-independently since they hunt for the

Circuit Training - Product, Quotient, and CHAIN Rules (calculus)
I wrote this circuit because as we move into the chain rule, my students still don't have fluency with the product and quotient rules (boo!). So, this circuit really plays on functions that seem structurally similar but are very different... y = x^2 + cosx vs y = x^2cosx. Or, y = cos (x^2) as opposed to y = (cos x)^2 (of course without parentheses). Students begin in the first cell and find either the first or second derivative (as specified) to advance in the circuit. The students then sea

Circuit Training - Related Rates (calculus)
Give your students engaging practice with the circuit format! This 12-question circuit contains all of the traditional related rates problems -- ladder sliding down a wall, growing conical salt pile, deflating balloon, plus a few extras such as a profit function and Charlie Brown flying a kite. To advance in the circuit, students must hunt for their answer and then that becomes the next problem. There is no trig on this circuit so it could definitely be used in a college business calculus clas

Circuit Training - Limits (calculus)
Your students will work every single one of these 24 limits problems because of the circuit format. To advance in the circuit, students must find their answers -- this element of self-check is essential! My students don't get up when the bell rings and they are working on a circuit! The problems are progressive in nature and contain a little bit of everything, including trig and transcendentals. No answer key is included as the answers are part of the circuit. This can be used as guided not

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

Calculus Related Rates Sort & Match Activity (Unit 4)
If you like group activities, here's a fun RELATED RATES SORT & MATCH ACTIVITY. This Sort & Match Activity is designed for AP Calculus AB students. The concepts will help your students work through the rules for setting up problems, implicit differentiation with respect to time, (including Chain Rule), and solving the basic types of related rates problems.There are eight task cards to present a typical related rate situation. Students will match the task card with the question, to an equ

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

Identifying Graphs of First and Second Derivatives Activity
Derivatives & Second Derivatives - Graphing Concepts:This activity requires students to match up the graph of a function with the graphs of its 1st and 2nd derivative. This will help students to visually compare graphs and see how slopes at different points transfer to the graph of the derivative.The activity does not require differentiation, just the understanding of what a derivative means in terms of the graph. Students cut out 10 squares with the f'(x) and f''(x) graphs mixed up. They

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
