Optimization Volume Project for Calculus

Created by

This project is for Calculus after students have mastered Optimization using derivatives. It is a hands-on activity in which students will find the minimum surface area of different geometric objects given a specific volume and then build the object. It includes worked out solutions for multiple geometric objects so that every student can do a different object. It culminates with a day to fill the objects with candies to see how close their object is to the set volume. Great project!

AP Calculus Project: Roller Coaster with Piecewise Functions & Derivatives

Created by

Diane McClaskey

Engage your AP Calculus students after the exam with this hands-on and creative project! Students design a mathematically valid roller coaster using piecewise functions that are continuous and differentiable at each transition point. They must graph the coaster, build a 3D model, and provide formal mathematical proofs of continuity and differentiability. Perfect for: AP Exam wrap-up weeks Summative assessments Honors Calculus projects Includes: Full student instructions Grading rubric Proof
