WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
▸ Recognize and define core integral vocabulary, including antiderivative, indefinite
integral, definite integral, and integration.
▸ Explain how differentiation and integration are inverse operations of one another through
the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
▸ Define vocabulary related to integration techniques, including u-substitution, integration
by parts, upper and lower bounds, and Riemann sum.
▸ Classify an integral by the technique required to evaluate it - the power rule, substitution,
a basic formula, or integration by parts.
▸ Use elimination reasoning to determine which definite integral corresponds to which
numerical value from indirect clues.
▸ Apply the power rule for integration across a repeated pattern, and correctly sequence
the steps for evaluating a definite integral using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
▸ Evaluate definite integrals to solve problems and reveal a hidden word.
▸ Understand the role of the constant of integration, C, in every indefinite integral.
▸ Apply the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to compute the net change of a function
over an interval.
▸ Recognize basic antiderivative formulas for power functions, exponential functions, and
trigonometric functions.

HOW TO PLAY - YOUR PUZZLE JOURNEY
This template takes you through seven learning puzzles built around the same topic, each
one built around a different way of thinking, plus a dedicated Challenge Section with twelve
tiered challenges, and a Player Progress Tracker at the end. Every puzzle also includes
its own Concept Check with three questions. Every answer is collected together near the
end so you (or a parent or teacher) can check the work.
1 WORD SEARCH - Recognize: Find every key term hidden in the grid.
2 CONCEPT MAP - Connect: Fill in how key terms relate to one another.
3 CROSSWORD - Retrieve: Use the clues to spell out each key term correctly.
4 SORT & CLASSIFY - Distinguish: Place each item into its correct category.
5 LOGIC GRID - Deduce: Use the clues to match each entity correctly.
SEQUENCE & PATTERN - Organize: Fill in several missing items, then
6
reorder a scrambled sequence, and explain the rule.
CODEBREAKER - Apply: Use the Code Key to answer each question and
7
reveal the hidden message.
CHALLENGE SECTION - Transfer: Complete twelve tiered challenges of
8
increasing depth.
