Double Integrals

Highlights of the activity

1. This small group activity is designed to help students visualize the process of changing the order of integration in double integrals.
2. Students work in small groups to reverse the order of integration in a given integral.
3. The whole class wrap-up discussion emphasizes geometric reasoning.

Reasons to spend class time on the activity

• Emphasizes the role of the limits of a double integral in describing the region of integration.
