Integration & Area Under A Curve (Geogebra)

This is a Geogebra program for use as a visual aid when teaching how integration can be used to determine the area under a curve and the area between two curves. This program has been designed using Geogebra 5.0 (download version). The program allows you to specify two separate functions and show the definite and indefinite integral for each function. The program can also subtract the second function from the first function to determine the area enclosed by the two functions.

The teacher can also show students how the area under a curve can be approximated using the rectangle rule and trapezoidal rule for a given number of shapes. The program will represent this approximation both graphically and numerically.

This is a visually engaging resource that will quickly and professionally present solutions to area by integration type questions.
