Integration Fundamentals

An introduction to the basic ideas on integration

Syllabus content: SL 5.5, SL 5.10, SL 5.11

I have made 6 worksheets to help with these topics.  They are:

  1. Polynomial integration 
  2. Polynomial integration 2
  3. Area between 2 curves and FTC
  4. Integration rules for non polynomials
  5. Treasure hunt: Integration non polynomials
  6. Treasure hunt: Integration polynomials

You can scroll down below to see the pictures of the questions.  You can download both the questions and mark scheme from the bottom of the page.
