Calculus Countdown
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Can you hit the target functions using a set of input functions and a little calculus and algebra?
Turning to Calculus
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Get started with calculus by exploring the connections between the sign of a curve and the sign of its gradient.
Operating Machines
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
What functions can you make using the function machines RECIPROCAL and PRODUCT and the operator machines DIFF and INT?
Maths Shop Window
Age 16 to 18 Challenge Level:
Make a functional window display which will both satisfy the manager and make sense to the shoppers
Fractional Calculus II
Age 16 to 18
Here explore some ideas of how the definitions and methods of calculus change if you integrate or differentiate n times when n is not a whole number.
Fractional Calculus I
Age 16 to 18
You can differentiate and integrate n times but what if n is not a whole number? This generalisation of calculus was introduced and discussed on askNRICH by some school students.
