FTC

In this activity, students will build on their comprehension of functions defined by a definite integral, where the independent variable is an upper limit of integration. Students are led to the brink of a discovery of a discovery of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

Approximating_Integrals_4

Approximating Integrals with Riemann Sums

In this activity, students calculate Riemann sums. They demonstrate when the Riemann sums will over-approximate a definite integral. They also observe the convergence of Riemann sums as the number of subintervals get larger.

Fundamental_Theorem_of_Calculus_2

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

In this activity, students explore the connection between an accumulation function, one defined by a definite integral, and the integrand. They also discover that the derivative of the accumulator is the integrand.
