10 activities · Work through in order for a complete lesson arc
Limits & Continuity Explorer
Compute left-hand, right-hand, and two-sided limits numerically. SVG graph, approach table, and discontinuity classification.
Start with limits — the foundation of all calculus.
Derivative Rules Step-by-Step
Select from 23 preset examples across 8 rule categories. See the problem, rule applied, and full worked solution with KaTeX-rendered steps.
Derivative & Integral Visualizer
Plot f(x), f'(x), and F(x) together. Drag a point to see the tangent line slope and accumulated area with step-by-step differentiation.
Related Rates Visual Solver
12 classic related-rates problems with live SVG diagrams. Enter the known rate and current measurement, then see the computed unknown rate with solution steps.
Riemann Sum Explorer
Approximate definite integrals with left, right, midpoint, and trapezoidal methods. Slider for number of rectangles shows convergence.
Integral Substitution Visualizer
Work through u-substitution with 20 examples in 5 categories. Step-by-step reveal shows substitution, du setup, integration, and back-substitution.
Limits & Continuity Lab
Explore the formal epsilon-delta definition of limits, apply the squeeze theorem, and classify removable, jump, and infinite discontinuities by testing continuity conditions
Derivatives & Tangent Lines Lab
Visualize derivatives as slopes of tangent lines, animate secant lines approaching tangents as h approaches 0, explore derivative rules step by step, and compute slopes on implicit curves
FTC & Net Change Lab
Explore the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus by building accumulation functions, evaluating definite integrals with antiderivatives, and computing displacement versus total distance from velocity functions
Accumulation, Area & Volume Lab
Visualize Riemann sums converging to definite integrals. Compute area between curves and volumes of revolution using disk, washer, and shell methods with interactive cross-section views
Capstone — area, volume, and net change.
