Coming Soon - Calculus JEOPARDY                                              

Did you ever wish that you had more AP-type multiple choice problems for review? The released exams are great but they are few and far between. Well, get ready for Calculus JEOPARDY. This game, played like the Alex Trebek version will give you 5 problems in increasing order of difficulty in 24 different categories. There will be a JEOPARDY, Double JEOPARDY, Triple JEOPARDY and a BC Triple JEOPARDY plus two final JEOPARDY problems. Add that to the 15 sample questions that will be available on the web page and that is 137 questions that cover the entire curriculum.  

 

These questions are challenging as well - not the usual "take the derivative of 2x".  Included in the game will be a spreadsheet scoring device that will allow you to keep track of how much money students have won.  This will be a game that you can use to review for the AP exam or use daily for warmup problems.

 

Calculus JEOPARDY will be available mid-March, hopefully, and like my Calculus CLUE game, will be offered very reasonably.

Free Calculus and Precalculus Lessons on Video                             

We recently became aware of a fantastic resource online.  Brightstorm (www.Brightstorm.com) has high quality videos from very good teachers, explaining most of the topics in Pre-Calculus and Calculus. The videos are FREE with registration on the site. With each topic, the teacher explains the concept, and usually walks through a few sample problems. Here are a few examples of specific Pre-Calculus and Calculus topics at Brightstorm:
Product Rule    Chain Rule    Graphs of the Sine and Cosine Functions

We have more extensive list of Brightstorm's Calculus and Pre-Calculus videos on our resources pageClick here.

MasterMathMentor.com has been launched!                                   

MasterMathMentor.com has been officially launched - and what a whirlwind!
On Monday, May 7th, 2007, Stu, author of the materials posted on MasterMathMentor.com, sent a single list-serve announcement of his new website and the free calculus materials available for download.  The response was tremendous.  Having been broadcasted around 8:30pm that Monday evening, people began visiting the website within 1 hour.  Up until that day, there had only been a handful of visitors - mostly those of us developing the materials and friends who had offered to reveiw the website for quality and accuracy.  Within 3.5 hours (by midnight) there had already been over 108 visitors from all across the USA, according to Google analytics, and over 3,500 page views.  There had also been over 700 downloads!  Additionally a flood of positive accolades came pouring in via email from colleagues.

The next day continued the swell of visitors.  Over 800 visitors.  Over 14,000 page views.  Awesome.  Truly awesome.

As the week went on, the number of visitors has toned down a bit to a steady stream, but there continues to be a strong amount of traffic, downloads, and accolades.  To date there have been over 11,000 downloads, the most popular being the "Summer PreCalculus" packet.

Thank you to all who have taken an interest in this material.  It is such a compliment and quite rewarding to know that this material will be of use for other students around the US and world.
