Students will then try to characterize how the amplitude and frequency affect the graphs of trig functions. http://serc.carleton.edu/sp/merlot/math/interactive/examples/14343.html In this activity, a six-foot length of nylon rope is suspended at both ends to model a mathematical curve known as the hyperbolic cosine. In a write-pair-share activity, students are asked to make a conjecture concerning the nature of the curve and then embark on a guided discovery in which they a http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewAssignment.htm?id=275876 In this activity, a six-foot length of nylon rope is suspended at both ends to model a mathematical curve known as the hyperbolic cosine.

The objective is to determine which slice contains the most upper crust (i.e., most area of its surface of rev http://serc.carleton.edu/sp/merlot/math/interactive/examples/14299.html This write-pair-share activity presents Calculus II students with a worksheet containing several exercises that require them to find the volume of solids of revolution using disk, washer and shell methods and to sketch three-dimensional representations of the resulting solids.
