Concept Map

The document instructs students to create a concept map summarizing all the topics covered in their calculus class this year. It explains that students should work in groups to brainstorm and map out the relationships between concepts like derivatives, limits, integrals, related rates, and the history of calculus. The best concept map will receive a bag of candy and will clearly connect multiple concepts, include illustrations, use color, and display a sense of humor. Examples of non-colorful concept maps are provided for inspiration.

(THE) CALCULUS CONCEPT MAP!

Hello friends.

We’ve learned a lot this year. I want you, with your group, to brainstorm all the topics we’ve learned (large
and small). One person in your group can take out their computer and look at CalcPortal to refresh their
minds. Everything from related rates to the history of calculus to antiderivative to volumes of revolution.
Throw ‘em down on a sheet of paper, so you can refer to them.

Now, try to tie these topics together in some sort of crazy, beautiful, schematic. For example, when you
think of the derivative, you might want to think: Where did that come from? Oh yeah, from limits. What did
we learn when we did limits? Oh yeah, about holes, and asymptotes, and sign analyses of rational functions. So
there’s a ton of things you can put on there. You can also draw pictures and graphs to illustrate these ideas!
Some of you are serious artists – take charge and make this beautiful! Colorful! Fun! Here are some non-
colorful examples…

The group with the best concept map will get a bag of candy! What I’ll be looking for:

• A lot of the concepts that we’ve covered this year


• Something connecting each of these concepts
• Illustrations for these concepts
• Color!!!
• Ability to make me laugh heartily, and whimsy
• Readability
