Curated OER
Estimating he Value of a Definite Integral
In this definite integral worksheet, 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
Simpson's Rule
In this integral worksheet, students use the Simpsons's Rule for evaluating integrals. They use different methods to calculate integrals and compare the results. This eight-page worksheet contains approximately 16 multi-step problems.
