This question requires the students to consider continuity and what that definition really means.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806043650549721218.post-61304036923284531942013-09-08T21:05:38.005-05:002013-09-08T21:05:38.005-05:00Ohhhh!!

You'd be surprised at the interesting conversations concerning whether there is a "first moment" when you are in the air or a "last moment" on the ground. briehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102587900266610644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806043650549721218.post-79814204197631178352013-09-02T19:29:36.496-05:002013-09-02T19:29:36.496-05:00Yes!

They can "work" the trite textbook problems, but do they REALLY understand the theorem? <br /><br />I'd be really interested to hear more about your school's approach to calculus. So, do first year calc students take AP Calc AB, or do they take a non-AP calc course?Rebecka Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12227797437296056645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806043650549721218.post-52273257903064194102013-09-02T05:11:17.863-05:002013-09-02T05:11:17.863-05:00Rebecka

I find that students 'get' the IVT but only in the context of 'Oh, that's the one where I identify roots between consecutive integers' or some other forced context from Precalculus or Calculus. I am teaching AP Calc BC (we do it as a second year of Calculus at our school) and many of my students remembered both IVT and MVT but most confused their names. This was interesting to me as, in my mind, the names of these theorems reveal quite a bit about what the theorem says.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
