Students discuss the concept of tangent lines and planes using play dough and tooth picks in a Calculus 3 class. They grapple with the idea how the tangent plane changes for different points on the surface.
The class had 25 students and met two times a week for 75 minutes each and one time for 50 minutes.
Students develop a representation of a tangent plane in Calculus 3. They use play dough to represent the paraboloid and toothpicks for tangent lines.
