Mar 24, 2016 - Students revisit the fundamental theorem of algebra as they explore complex roots of polynomial functions.  They use polynomial identities, the binomial theorem, and Pascal’s Triangle to find roots...

Jan 26, 2016 - Student Outcomes Students give an informal argument using Cavalieri’s principle for the volume formula of a sphere and use thevolume formula to derive a formula for the surface area of a sphere.

Jan 26, 2016 - Student Outcomes Students understand the principle of parallel slices in the plane, and understand Cavalieri’s principle as ageneralization of the principle of parallel slices. Students use Cavalieri...

Jan 26, 2016 - Student Outcomes Students understand the precise language that describes the properties of volume. Students understand that the volume of any right cylinder is given by the formula area of base×...

Jan 26, 2016 - Student Outcomes Students understand the definitions of a general prism and a cylinder and the distinction between a cross-section and a slice.

Jan 26, 2016 - Student Outcomes Students use inscribed and circumscribed polygons for a circle (or disk) of radius r and circumference C to showthat the area of a circle is 1/2Cr or as it is usually written, πr2.

Jan 26, 2016 - Student Outcomes Students understand properties of area: 1.Students understand that the area of a set in the plane is a number greater than or equal to zero thatmeasures the size of the set and not...

Jan 26, 2016 -  Students begin their work with 3-dimensions by first developing a stronger sense of area in two dimensions.  They find approximated areas of curved figures by “squeezing” them between inscribed and...
