math through discovery

This is a great way for students to review their knowledge of finding bounded area in Calculus.


This set of Bounded Area Matching Cards is made up of
 Eight Bounded Area Problems
 Eight Riemann Graphs
 Eight Definite Integrals
 Eight Solutions

Give each group of students 24 cards (eight bounded area problems, eight graphs, and eight definite integrals).  Students should read the bounded area problem and find the matching graph that could be used to solve the problem.  For each pair of problems and graphs they should then find the matching definite integral. 

Students should then solve each of the eight problems.  When they have solved the eight problems, distribute the eight solution cards so they can confirm their solutions as they match their problem, graph, integral and solution cards.

This is a great activity if you are reviewing for a unit test on related rates or preparing for the final exam or for the AP exam.  It is appropriate for both AB and BC Calculus classes.
