Comments on: Ideas for my 2009/2010 Calculus Project http://samjshah.com/2010/01/27/ideas-for-my-20092010-calculus-project/ Thu, 31 May 2012 12:38:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: samjshah http://samjshah.com/2010/01/27/ideas-for-my-20092010-calculus-project/#comment-1893 Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:30:05 +0000 http://samjshah.com/?p=1833#comment-1893 I am making the Algebra topic lists based on the tests/quizzes I give — so I look back and say “what algebra skills do they need?”

I doubt my lists would be of any help to you, because it seems so specific to the curriculum I’ve developed. At the end of the school year, though, I’ll try to post my curriculum and algebra boot camps lists.

In the mean time, I’ll try to come up with my own and share them with you.

Here’s one to start off: For the last two years, I’ve been doing a project that sounds like a cross between two of your ideas- I’ve had the kids research uses of calculus (with interviews and professional journals) and then I have them present the information so that a non-Calculus speaker (as I call them) can understand the basics of what’s happening. Hopefully, the reader will be so interested that it will make them want to learn calculus so they can really understand what’s happening. But, this project is getting boring for me and my students so I need some new material.

Keep us updated!

I actually would love to know about your Algebra boot camp. Do you have a list of Algebra topics already lined up that I could a copy of? They keep creeping up on me and I’m mostly throwing them into bootcamp on the back-end right now and it’s not very pretty.
