Activity Overview

In this activity, students will graphically investigate the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and properties of definite integrals. Self-check questions engage students and deepen understanding of the topic. Multiple choice exam-like questions are also included.

Key Steps

    Students begin this activity by studying a graphical demonstration of the area under a curve and the derivative. Students will be able to see what happens as h becomes infinitesimally smaller.

    Next, students will explore definite integrals. They will explore integrals between symmetric limits for both odd and even functions. Students will also explore other integral properties.
