Why Students Struggle With Arc Length and How to Help

This video dives deep into the topic of finding Arc Length using Integration techniques from Calculus. It answers the question “Why do students struggle to understand the Arc Length Formula?” and goes through a simple break down of how the Arc Length Formula can be derived and then applies this formula to several problems.
Math The World is dedicated to bringing real world math problems into the classroom and answering the age old question “when will I ever use this?”
We use unique algebra context topics, geometry context topics, trigonometry context topics, and calculus context topics. We go beyond context problems and use a technique called mathematical modeling to find solutions to real world questions and real world problems. These videos are great for students who plan to enter technical fields that require real world problem solving, and can be a great resource for teachers looking for ways to bring real world contexts into their classroom.
