Estimating Area Under a Graph (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet will scaffold the method required for estimating the area under a curve.
Section A gives some compound polygons formed on coordinate axes, bounded by the x-axis and y-axis. Learners need to use the coordinates and other information to find the area of the shapes.
Section B then gives three curved graphs which have the strips provided for an estimate of the area to be found.
Section C then asks for learners to use 4 strips to find estimated areas for two more curves.
