This website gives a very good illustration of all the five numerical integration methods. Most of the integration and differentiation calculations can be done with graphing calculators. It is not easy to teach the comparison of different numerical integration methods using various examples. One can easily go through several illustrations by using this web-site.
The website also covers Newton's Method and Intermediate Theorem. My students found the Numerical Integration section most useful.
Technical Remarks:
appear on the screen with a highlighted answer for the particular method.
