Flask FUNctions
In this activity you will investigate the relationship between the amount of liquid in a glass container (flask)
and the height of that liquid.
PROCEDURE:
1. Begin with an empty flask. Add a “cupful” of water to the flask. Using a centimeter ruler, accurately
measure the height of the water in the flask. Record the measurement in the table below. Depending on
the size of your flask your “cupful” may be several each time.
2. Add a second “cupful” of water and again measure the height of the water in the flask and record the
results in the table below.

OBJECTIVE: Students will match 8 sets of cards.
Each set contains four cards: a graph of a

function, a graph of its derivative, a description of
dy the function and a description of its derivative.

Students will start by pulling out and lining up the
cards labeled 1-8. These cards are the function
cards. They then should proceed to match the
corresponding derivative graph and their
respective descriptions
TEACHER NOTES: Students should work in groups of two to four.
Review vocabulary that is on the description cards.

• Critical point
• Derivative
• Inflection point
• Maximum/minimum point
• Slope

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLAY :

Two players per game. Deal 6 cards to each player. The rest of the cards should be placed equation side
down (picture side up), between the two players.
OBJECTIVE:
The students need to collect a set of three cards, the function f (x), the first f '(x) = and second f ''( x)
derivatives. One student will ask the other if they have a card that would complete their set. (Example if a
student has f(x) = 3x2, they may ask for f ' ( x ) = 6 x or f " ( x ) = 6 ). If the Player B does have the requested
card, they give it to Player A and player A may ask for another card. If Player B does not have the requested
card he/she says “Go Fish” and Player A draws from the “go fish” pile and it becomes Player B’s turn. Play
continues until there are no cards left to draw from. The player with the most sets wins.

ALGEBRA OBJECTIVE
To write the equation of two lines in slope-intercept form.

The lines indicate the velocity of two toy cars and the placement on “perpendicular roads”.
Find the intersection of the two lines.
PROCEDURE
The velocity will be determined using a CBR.

The placement will be determined by calculating the length and width of the::
• cars and position needed to avoid a crash at the intersection
• perpendicular “roads”.
ASSESSMENT
Use the equations of the lines to determine placement/timing of the cars to ensure a
“near miss” as the cars travel toward the intersection of the roads.

Calculus students will be paired with 7th graders – Algebra 2 students and act as a mentor to them as
they review this year’s material.

teacher to stay after school to help tutor. You must bring a signed note from that teacher in order to
get the credit.
Grading Criteria: Attendance and positive participation
2. Letter
Students will compose a letter to next year’s AP Calculus students. Give them the advice you should
have (did) follow(ed). Talk to them Letter should included a discussion of what strategies for
success worked best for you, what strategies didn’t work, and what strategies you would have tried if
you had to do it over again. This discussion would involve strategies both particular to your calculus
course and generally to your senior year!
Suggestions include: study groups, studying, doing homework, taking good notes, after school help,
reading ahead, jobs, time management, number of AP courses, sleep, etc.)
Grading Criteria: Letter must be at least two full typed pages, type size 12, one-inch margins,

demonstrates that they have mastery of a particular calculus concept. Presentation should be 10
minutes. There will be a random selection on the topic your group is assigned.

Grading Criteria: Quality of project and effort of participants

39
OBJECTIVE:
Pick something that you have always wanted to learn to do.
(integration by parts, finding derivatives and antiderivatives of hyperbolic functions
sinh and cosh, swim, sew, change the oil/ flat tire in your car, cook a gourmet meal,
decorate a cake, etc) and learn to do it!
ASSESSMENT:
1. Attractive poster including
a. Your name
b. Project title
c. Photographs documenting your new skill and/or, knowledge
d. What mathematics was involved
2. Typed report, double-spaced, 1-inch margins, and Times New Roman 12 pt.
with details documenting what you learned and the steps you took to learn it.
This report should also include a personal assessment of the value of this
learning opportunity.
3. Letter signed by your parents acknowledging your new skill and their
opinion of it.
4. Class presentation
a. Approximately 5 minute presentation on final exam day
b. Model of your accomplishment (i.e. a decorated cake, videotape of
you doing your new skill, etc.)
IMPORTANT DEADLINES:
1. May 12: Topic chosen and turned in for approval.
2. May 22/23: Evidence that your learning process has begun. (This
can be in one of several forms: a photograph, a signed letter from a
parent, etc.)
3. June 5/6: Poster turned in and hung on the wall in classroom.
4. June 9-12: Presentation of your accomplishment.
