Circuit Training - Optimization (calculus)

What educators are saying
Description
Give your students engaging practice with the circuit format! This circuit has 12 word problems which start easy and build from there. Expect to see the farmer problem and the open-top box problem... To advance in the circuit, students must find their answer, and with that answer is a new problem. My students love this format!
In this circuit, there are no pictures and students will be expected to interpret the questions and sketch appropriate pictures. Technology is required on most problems towards the end, but only for computation. The teacher should expect the student to demonstrate the calculus (i.e. not just use a graphing calculator to find the vertex of a parabola).
No answer key is included as the answers are part of the circuit. If you get stuck, you can email me at virge@virgecornelius.com.
