Coaster Calculus Project | Continuity, Differentiability, & Second Derivatives

Created by

Give your calculus students a meaningful way to apply continuity, differentiability, derivatives, and second derivatives through a real-world roller coaster design project. In this multi-phase Desmos activity, students create a piecewise roller coaster track, prove it is continuous, revise it to make it differentiable, and analyze second derivatives to improve ride comfort. This resource is designed to help students connect abstract calculus concepts to visual modeling and mathematical reasoning
