While I've learned many things in high school, the knowledge I most enjoyed aquiring was through the projects assigned by my Calculus teacher, Mrs. Clemmer. For those that haven't heard of the famous "Clemmer Projects" they always involve going out around town and solving or creating calculus problems, using real world situations and numbers. These projects have ranged from making movies containing math problems, to Math Trails, which involved solving math problems around town and starting next week, the building of a roller coaster, using Calculus to design it. All of them have been lots of fun, and have shown me quite a bit as to the unlimited real world applications of Calculus. |
