Active Learning Materials for First Semester Calculus

This page contains links to active learning materials for use in a second-semester calculus course. The site is maintained by BOALA, the Boulder/Omaha Active Learning Alliance. You can contact us at the email address boalamath at gmail dot com. The materials we have produced are currently in draft form, and we welcome any feedback you have, including errors, typos, suggestions for changes, or feedback about how this went when you used it with students. We also welcome you to send us your materials for us to post to share with others. Please clearly include the title, topic, and a name, or names, to whom the work should be attributed.

Source files and solution files

These materials are open-source; feel free to use them or modify them for your own classroom use. Feedback to us about what worked and what didn't work is deeply appreciated.
If you would like copies of .tex source files, or copy of solution files, please send an email to boalamath at gmail dot com. We will gladly share!
If you would like to produce large quantities of the tactivities, please contact us, we have .pdf files for production, and ideas about how to do this more easily.
