AP Calculus Project: Roller Coaster with Piecewise Functions & Derivatives
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
