I will be teaching a calculus class, specifically, integration of common functions (e.g., polynomials, logarithms, exponentials and the like). It has been my experience that if an abstract concept can be at least related to a real life context, then it becomes easier for the students to comprehend and apply the particular concept.
What are effective real-life practical activities that will enhance student comprehension and ability to apply principles involved with logarithmic and exponential integrals?
