The Singing Calculus Tree
This past December, our Calculus Class decorated our tree
with purple glittered calculus symbols, ribbon adorned with
calculus symbols, and silver balls inscribed with calculus symbols.
Under the tree, you could find presents in boxes created by
the class some with maximum volume and others with
maximum surface area. In addition to the presents, there
were Singing Christmas cards designed by the Calculus class
with printed lyrics about Calculus sung to our favorite
traditional Christmas Carols. Upon opening the cards
you can hear a small group of students singing the
Calculus Christmas Carol.

This lesson was a wonderful idea. I think it should be shared with others.
ReplyDeleteThe cards were great! The originality with lyrics was wonderful....I am dreaming of an A in Calculus to the tune of I am dreaming of a white Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed working on this project. It was a fun way to review terms and symbols from past lessons and to learn new concepts of minimizing and maximizing volume and surface area.

ReplyDeleteThis project was really fun AND it incorporated calculus. Everybody should know how to decorate trees with calculus symbols!
