Students will approximate the area under a curve using Riemann sums. This will be done by utilizing a program that computes the Riemann sum as well as drawing the graphical representation. The activity concludes with students discovering that if enough Riemann sums are used, then the area under a curve can be calculated with the required degree of precision.

One key ingredient - maybe THE key ingredient - for students to be able to solve maths word problems is being able to VISUALISE what they read. The attached document gives you a step by step approach to teaching students how to visualise word problems as a key step to solving the problem. Thanks to Jude Ocean from RMIT in Melbourne Victoria for providing the core material for this document.

This is a worksheet on Fermi Problems that I created back in 2005.

My Stuff is where I put resources that have nothing to do with maths and/or nothing to do with digital resources and/or nothing to do with interactivity.

It is just a handy location for putting files on the web that I want to share.

The attached file is my bible on database Normalisation. I can't remember where I got it from, but probably from someone on the qsite-ipt list. Please advise if you know the source.
