Suitable for either Calculus I or Calculus II students. Note: This project has a sequel entitled Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: An Investigation (listed under Interactive Lectures) in which the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus is investigated via the constructed model. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=407974 Calculus students are presented with a write-pair-share activity that leads them to a practical understanding of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The activity involves analyzing a function that describes eating speed in a hypothetical dinner table experience. Suitable for either Calculus I or Calculus II students.Note: This project has a prequel entitled Calculus of the Dinner Table: Mathematical Modeling (listed under Interactive Lectures) in which students construct the mathematical model for the king's eating speed. This prequel provides an excellent and engaging prelude to this activity. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=548984 Step-by-step instructions on getting a website started in WordPress. It assumes that students have their own domain name and a WordPress hosting account at wordpress.org (not wordpress.com). The author recommends GoDaddy for both of these services.

See http://searchengineland.com/how-many-google-privacy-policies-are-you-violating-50182 for further information about this issue. This exercise walks through the steps associated with installing Google Analytics and a Privacy Policy on a WordPress blog. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=485513 This classroom activity presents College Algebra students with a ConcepTest, a Question of the Day, and a Write-pair-share activity concerning the effect of the coefficient of x on the vertex of a parabola where a>0, b<0 and a and c are arbitrarily fixed values in f(x)=ax^2+bx+c. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=484784 This classroom activity presents College Algebra students with a ConcepTest, a Question of the Day, and a Write-pair-share activity concerning the effect of the coefficient of x on the vertex of a parabola where a>0, b>0 and a and c are arbitrarily fixed values in f(x)=ax^2+bx+c.
