Derivatives and Graphing: Larry Green’s JAVA Applets http://www.ltcconline.net/greenl/java/Other/DerivativeGraph/classes/DerivativeGraph.html This is an activity where a graph is presented. Using a mouse, the student is challenged to sketch the graph of the derivative. The computer lags behind sketching the actual graph of the derivate so that the student can observe how accurate the student’s sketch is as the sketch is being created.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: Calculus of the Dinner Table—Mathematical Modeling http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=407971 Calculus students are presented with a write-pair-share activity that initially involves the construction of a model based on direct variation and later involves the use of calculus as a means by which to analyze the model. Suitable for either Calculus I or Calculus II students.
