These are Activities I've used at Saint Mary's during the last couple of years - sorted by courses. These are all Microsoft Word (.doc) files - most are 2 pages, but some are longer. All are to be completed by a team of students, with assigned team duties, during one class meeting [50 minutes for Math 115/116, Math361, 75 minutes for Math 251, Math 438].
MATH 115 ACTIVITY 5: Rate of change: Introduction, average and exact (instantaneous) rate of change
MATH 116 ACTIVITY 3: Area between curves and the definite integral
MATH 116 ACTIVITY 6: Understanding Relationships between data - scatterplots and correlation
MATH 116 ACTIVITY 8: The binomial and near-binomial probability situation [table, parameters, use]
MATH 251 ACTIVITY 1: Formulating Linear Programming models, Solution concepts
Math 361 ACTIVITY 2: Some work with the taxicab distance
Math 361 ACTIVITY 3: Angle Measure and the protractor Axiom: Some proofs
Math 361 ACTIVITY 7: Developing and proving a conjecture using Sketchpad
Math 361 ACTIVITY 8: The incircle: Describing processes [using Sketchpad]
Math 361 ACTIVITY 11: The two-chord, secant-tangent , and two-secant theorems
Math438 ACTIVITY 9: Graphical Solution of Linear Programming Problems
Math438 ACTIVITY 10: An algebraic search method for solving LP problems
Math438 ACTIVITY 17: Post Optimality Analysis [Sensitivity Analysis]
Math438 ACTIVITY 25: Constrained Optimization: Equality Constraints
