Calculus-Bundle-Volume-using-Known-Cross-Sections
One of the hardest topics for calculus students to understand is the finding of the volume of a solid with a know cross section. This bundle of activities is designed to help students visualize this idea.There are three parts to this bundle.
- In the first part, students are engaged building models for 8 different shapes that can be built on the same region. Through answering some key questions students learn that the volume of all nine shapes can be found using similar techniques. Students also look for relationships between their answers.
- In the second part, students review what they learned in the exploration as it reviews how these volumes are calculated.
- In the third part, students practice finding volume of solids with known cross sections.
Here is what a recent buyer said about the product:
I used this bundle over the course of a few classes - it was very successful! I even had students who said "I FINALLY get this!" Thank you!
