Student Writings and Visualizations of Calculus Understanding
Derrick Keister
Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, v118 n9 p692-701 2025
Baseball. Subway line. Maps. A flower. Each of these contexts involves some form of varying motion or constant change over time: the bi-directional motion of a fly ball, the speed of a subway car, or the growth of a flower until bloom. This article does not highlight students' calculus problem-solving abilities, but rather describes a set of activities the implemented in an AP Calculus AB class, culminating in students visually and relationally representing their understanding of, and connections between, major calculus concepts.
