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

Students in Algebra and above can use this worksheet to practice their algebraic skills with fractions. First, they think about the process of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions. They then apply these processes to some "funky fractions," with fun characters and words in places of numerals. If you want to know that your students can work with fractions in Algebra, Algebra II, or Pre-Calculus, this is the worksheet for you.
