## Legacy Cycle

OBJECTIVE
By the next class period, students will be able to:
* Solve typical types of trigonometric integrals and integrals which need to be converted into trigonometric integrals.
* Remember and recognize the types of trigonometric integrals and integrals for trigonometric substitutions.
The objectives will require that students be able to:
* Solve several types of trigonometric integrals and integrals with trigonometric substitutions
* Confidently use trigonometric and inverse trigonometric definitions, relations and identities to deal with trigonometric integrals and integrals with trigonometric substitutions.
THE CHALLENGE
Problems will be given which can be solved using regular or trigonometric substitution. Through several iterations, it should become clear that either method will result in the same integral given proper application.
GENERATE IDEAS
Once the problem is presented, the students will be given a few minutes to internalize the problem. They can brainstorm possible paths to a solution.
MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES
The students will work in small groups for 10 min and come up with ideas.
RESEARCH & REVISE
The instructor will solve the problem for the students using two different methods. This will encourage those with positive ideas and allow those that were not on the right track to see where mistakes can be corrected.
TEST YOUR METTLE
The instructor will use internet resources to assign homework of different problem types.
GO PUBLIC
One student (volunteer) will solve the challenge on the white board.
