This site contains material used in my classrooms over my 36 years of teaching, material from workshops I have presented, and solutions to the Calculus AP tests since 2003.   

You will find the following sections:  TI-73 Webquest, Geometry Activities, Calculus APCalculator References, Workshops, Pre-Calculus, Student Comments, and Personal Pages

The two subjects I taught most recently were Geometry and Calculus AP. 

So in the Geometry Activities Section you will find copies of such activities as Artifacts, Assessments, Building Arches, Building Polyhedra, Enlarging a Picture, Exterior Angles, Folding a Tangram, Geoboards, Student Mobiles, Origami, Pop Up Cards, Big Dogs, Projects, Shadows, Tessellations, Write a Poem, and Building a Pyramid.

The Calculus AP section is divided into two parts:  The Calculus Activities and the Solutions to AP tests.  In the Calculus Activity Section you will find a Sine-Cosine Activity, Several Volume Activities, and a Calculus Book Project. You will also find copies of labs I designed and used in my Calculus AP classes.  In the Calculus AP Test Section I have worked out the solutions to all the AP Free Response questions.  Although the questions are not on my site, they are available through the College Board site.   The solutions for the released 2003 Multiple Choice questions are also included in this section. 

The TI-73 Webquest was added as a result of a series of workshops held at the Camden County ETTC from 2005.  This page contains many important links to information about the TI-73 Graphing Calculator. 

 

Calculators have been an integral part of my classroom instruction since the 1980's.  In the Calculator Section you will find many resources for the TI-15, TI-73, TI-84 (TI-83) and TI-89. 

In the Workshop Section you will find information about upcoming workshops as well as links to handouts from some of my past workshops.  I have also included copies for some of the powerpoint presentations for the workshops.

In the Pre-Calculus Section you will find a review of material that students should be familiar with prior to entering Calculus.  Each section of this review has a few questions that students can use to check for understanding.  Answers for these questions appear on a separate page.

In the Personal Pages Section you will find information about both Jim and Patti Rahn, Our Pets Page, Lunar Pictures, and Pictures of the Famous Rock on Route 539.

Enjoy your visit to my site.
