Math 166 SI Session

Objectives

  • Get to know each other! Get to know classmates and your SI leader!
  • Super quick review on how to solve derivatives and integrals.
  • What do integrals mean?
  • How to find volume of solids using integrals.
  • Visualizing & drawing solids
  • Disk Method

Activities

Names & Introductions
  • (1 min) Introduce myself: name, year, major, San Diego story, no stupid questions
  • (5min) Say name, major, fun question: If you were to make a hot chocolate stand, what (real or made up) street would you sell your hot chocolate on and why?
  • (5 min) Do the activity again but in the groups. I’ll give you 3 minutes to learn everyone’s name in your group and put a face to it. I’ll call on each group and one person from each group must be able to say everyone’s name.
(5 min) Review of Derivatives and Integrals
  • Take the derivative of
  • Write out steps to finding a derivative as a group
(5 min) Review Integrals
  • Take the indefinite integral of what you just got
  • Write out steps of finding an integral as a group
  • How would the steps change if we were to have a definite integral?
  • Write out what an integral means/ what does it do?
  • What does dx mean?
(8 min) Find the volume of solid
  • Find the volume of a solid with square cross sections that are perpendicular to the x axis whose diagonal goes from y= to y= The solid is bounded by two planes (that are perpendicular to the x axis at) x=0 and x=4. Find the volume.
  • Draw out the picture
  • Set up integral
  • Solve it
  • (5 min) Same problem but this time the cross sections are circles and the diameter goes from y= to y= Find the volume.
(15 min) Find the volume of a rotated solid
  • Find the volume of a solid where the function y=2x is rotated around the x axis from x=0 to x=3.
  • Draw the picture
  • Draw a cross section and label
  • Set up integral and solve
  • What does each part of the integral mean? *hint: Look at your cross section labeling. What would your height be for that cross section?
    What does dx mean?
  • Check: Volume of cone= base area * height
  • Now rotate the curve around x=4 and the curve is bounded from x=4 to x=8.
  • (10 min) Find the volume of a solid created by rotating the curve x= around the y axis from y=-2 and y=2.
  • Draw the picture
  • Draw a cross section and label
  • Set up integral and solve
  • Check: Volume of sphere =
Closing
  • Answer any questions
  • Give students a sheet of paper (name) (what you are looking to get out of SI) (activities you would like to see)
