Exploring Calculus with The Geometer's Sketchpad

This collection of Sketchpad activities enriches your students study of calculus, empowering them to directly experience the dynamic, geometric nature of calculus in a hands-on format. Students' understanding will deepen as they: - dynamically control the number of subintervals in a partition and see the area measurement change instantaneously - explore the relationship between the graphs of an equation, its derivative, and its second derivative as the original equation changes - investigate changes of position and velocity, leading to an exploration of rates of change and limits at infinity.
