Graphing Quadratic Functions-Partner Activity(two graphs on a grid, three cases)

(0)
This is a collaborative partner activity on graphing quadratic functions.

nikimathnikimath

Integration by Partial Fractions & Long Division - Practice 3 in 1 (solutions provided)

(0)
This product is designed for students to practice integration using the methods of partial fractions and long division. It includes 16 sections each consisting of three related problems. In each section, students are instructed (a) first to use long division to write an improper rational expression as a sum of a polynomial and a proper fraction or/and to express a proper fraction as a sum of partial fractions (b) then to find the indefinite integral whose integrand is the function given in (a) © and at last to evaluate a definite integral having the same integrand as the integrand of the integral given in (b). The first eight sections contain problems that require using of partial fraction decomposition only. The next four sections include problems that require using long division only and in the last four sections students need to use both methods of integration in combination. ◈ One of the examples require using a substitution to be integrated by partial fraction decomposition. The problems include linear factors, quadratics, repeated factors, cubics, and quartics. Full solutions are provided.
Indefinite Integrals (Basic Integration) - Partner Activity "Check My Work" (solutions provided)
nikimathnikimath

Indefinite Integrals (Basic Integration) - Partner Activity "Check My Work" (solutions provided)

(0)
This is a collaborative activity to practice evaluating indefinite integrals by using their BASIC properties and the table of common integrals. Partners work through 20 sections each containing one integral. Activity Directions: A partner start solving an integral while the other partner is waiting for the answer to check it by differentiating. In the next section, partners take turns and it goes the same way. An alternative 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 differentiate the obtained functions to check each other’s work. If extra practice is needed Partner A and Partner B can change places with each other and continue solving. Applying both integrating and differentiating help students gain a better understanding of integration. I hope it will be beneficial for your calculus students. Answer keys and full solutions (typed and handwritten clearly) are included.
