Polynomial Function Project - Roller Coaster
In this project, students learn how to use polynomial function to model roller coaster rides. In this first part, they are given some polynomial functions to find the relative maximum/minimum, increasing/decreasing intervals, x- and y-intercepts, etc. They will explore the average rate of change. In the second part of the project, students are asked design their own roller coaster given some basic criteria. Students should use graphing devices/computer applications to complete this project.

Modeling the spread of ebola using calculus (original and key)
This project has 4 pages.
page 1 gives data on the cases/deaths due to ebola. Students are asked to model both and find an appropriate function. [table to graph/function]
page 2 asks students to analyze the rate of change of the cases/deaths and find an appropriate derivative function. [approximate rate of change using slope in table, make graph/function]
page 3 asks students to consider an equation for the growth and use derivative analysis (increasing/decreasing concavity extremes) to answer

Recycling in Gilbert, AZ
The Town of Gilbert, since 2002, has seen increases in revenue generated from its recycling program. With an increase in population, Gilbert has also seen an increase in the amount of recyclables collected. Furthermore, a recent newspaper article indicated that Gilbert has gone from getting $5 per ton to $42 per ton for recyclables. Recent data showing the amount of revenue generated and the amount of recyclables collected are shown in the table below.
Students use the data to create mathematic

Applesauce Yield Lesson-Cooking Activity for Applied Math or Culinary Arts/FACS!
In this lesson, students work in small groups to make the concepts of yield percent, fabricated cost and cost per portion come to life. Also works with the whole class working together to make one pot of applesauce if you don't have access to enough kitchen equipment.
You can use any quantity of apples you like to make the lesson longer or shorter in terms of prep time.
If you haven't taught yields already, use my Yields slideshow to introduce the lesson and then follow up with this activity.

How I Can Improve the World
This project outlines a creative, service-learning project based on students' interests. Students identify a community's needs, write a narrative describing a chosen charity, identify goals and objectives they want to achieve, create a list of action steps to be taken, develop a budget for their project, take action, and then evaluate the effectiveness of the community service project. Built in as an extension is a math element, using a choice of percent, integers, graphs, rational numbers, an

Statistics Project: The Math of Chance – Public Health & State Lotteries
This project is a research-based investigation into real-world applications of probability, specifically designed for students in Statistics courses. It challenges students to move beyond textbook problems by researching actual datasets and using statistical simulations to reach "reasonable conclusions". The project is divided into three comprehensive parts: Part 1: Medical Simulations & The Law of Large Numbers: Students research a real-world medical statistic. They then use a random number gen

Calculus Derivatives Project: The Calculus Coaster
A project that combines the concepts of continuity and differentiation and applies it to a real world situation. The students must first use both continuity and differentiation to solve for multiple coefficients. They then use the coefficients they have solved for and their knowledge of derivatives to answer questions about the situation. Designed for an AP or Advanced Calculus 1 class.
