Need an activity to liven up your Calculus class? The Chain Rule 500 Maze is for you! This activity is great for small groups or individual practice. Students will get to test their knowledge of the Chain Rule by identifying their race car's path to the finish line. Students may only drive the path that has functions where the Chain Rule is need to take the derivative. After reaching the finish line, students must find the derivative of the all the functions along their path. Functions include

Add some spice to your Calculus lessons with the Calculus Cookbook with Definite Integrals. In pairs or small groups students will work together to create definite integrals for the amount of each ingredient, cooking time, and all other numbers in the recipe. With each group translating a different recipe, you class can create a fun keepsake from your calculus class, or just have a great review of definite integrals. The activity can be extended by a gallery walk and converting each recipe for a
