Integration by Parts - Partner Activity
nikimathnikimath

Integration by Parts - Partner Activity

(0)
This is a collaborative and challenging activity to practice evaluating indefinite integrals by using Integration by Parts. It aims to develop and consolidate student’s skills in integration by this special method. Partners work through 8 sections (or less if preferred). Each section contains one integral. Activity Directions: A partner start solving an integral while the other partner is waiting for the answer to integrate it. In the next section, partners take turns and it goes the same way. An alternative way ( I think it is better way) to use this activity: Partner A solves an integral of a section while Partner B solves an integral of the other (the next in line) section. Then they swap papers and each partner integrates the function that his partner has obtained previously. The problems are well thought so the obtained functions after the first integrating can be also integrated by parts! A HINT is provided in each section that gives the sum of the partners’ answers. Answer keys are included. I hope this activity will be stimulating and beneficial for your calculus students.

nikimathnikimath

Linear Systems with 3 Variables - Partner Activity "Get the Same Answer"

(0)
In this 12 questions - partner activity, students will solve systems of linear equations with three variables. The problems are adaptable to all methods ( elimination, substitution, Gaussian elimination, Cramer’s Rule) so the teacher or students can choose the methods they will use. All systems have one and only one solution ( All systems are consistent and their equations are independent)! The answer of each of Partner’s A problems are the same as the answer of each Partner’s B corresponding problem. (Problems A1 and B1 are corresponding, so as problems A2 and B2 and so on). Students are instructed to check whether their results match. If their answers don’t match, they work together to figure out what went wrong. Student recording sheets and answer keys are provided.

nikimathnikimath

Finding Limits Analytically - 8 Task Cards (2 problems per card)

(0)
There are two problems (A and B questions) on each of the 8 cards. Question A is to evaluate a limit analytically and Question B is to prove a limit’s equality. Half of the cards are 8 questions asking students to find the limits of rational and involving radicals functions as x approaches infinity. The other half of the cards contains limits where x approaches a finite number. Students are to find the limits of rational functions, functions involving radicals and trigonometric functions (some of which use the “special Limits" ( sin x /x, (1 - cos x)/ x^2)) . The limits in this activity can all be found without L’Hopital’s rule. The cards can be used as a partner or a group activity or as a review. There is a student recording sheet included. Answer keys are provided.
Radical Equations (Which ONE doesn't have the same solution as the others?)- Group Activity
nikimathnikimath

Radical Equations (Which ONE doesn't have the same solution as the others?)- Group Activity

(0)
This activity is designed to be used for groups of 4, 3 and/or 2 members. It practices: • solving radical equations with one and two square roots • solving linear and quadratic equations • checking for extraneous solutions The radical equations contain: a monomial and/or a binomial under a radical symbol a radical expression on one side of the equation and a monomial or a binomial on the other side radical expressions on one side and respectively on the both sides of the equations (“radical equals radical”) Most of the equations require rearranging and isolating the radical and the rest are set up to square both sides. All the equations require squaring once. Activity Directions: Partners will each have their own set of eight problems of various difficulty. They reduce them to linear or quadratics and continue solving by any method they choose. Students write down the solutions of the problems on the recording sheet provided. They are instructed to check for extraneous solutions. Partners record their answers in tables on a group response sheet designed in such a way that students can analyze and compare their results easily. They must verify that all equations actually have the same solution except only one which has two distinct roots. I called this special equation “black sheep equation” and it is the equation B8. It can not be simply found without checking for extraneous solutions. All answer keys are provided. I hope your students enjoy searching for the “black sheep” and have fun with this activity.
