Curated OER
Estimating he Value of a Definite Integral
In this definite integral activity, students solve three integrals for a defined value. They use the midpoint, trapezoidal, and Simpson's rules each one time to estimate the value of a definite integral.
Curated OER
Trapezoid Rule, Simpson's Rule, Midpoint Rule
In this math worksheet, students practice using the rules of Trapezoid, Simpson, and Midpoint. Then they practice using the rules and justify the solutions.
