Students learn when they are activity engaged and thinking in class. The activities in this book are the primary classroom materials for teaching Calculus 1, using the POGIL method. Each activity leads students to discovery of the key concepts by having them analyze data and make inferences. The result is an "I can do this" attitude, increased retention, and a feeling of ownership over the material.

Kendall Hunt is excited to partner with The POGIL Project to publish materials in a variety of disciplines that are designed for use in active learning, student-centered classrooms.
POGIL is an acronym for Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning. Because POGIL is a student-centered instructional approach, in a typical POGIL classroom or laboratory, students work in small teams with the instructor acting as a facilitator. The student teams use specially designed activities that generally follow a learning cycle paradigm. These activities are designed to have three key characteristics:
- They are designed for use with self-managed teams that employ the instructor as a facilitator of learning rather than a source of information.
- They guide students through an exploration to construct understanding.
- They use discipline content to facilitate the development of important process skills, including higher-level thinking and the ability to learn and to apply knowledge in new contexts.

Andrei Straumanis has a B.A. in Chemistry from Oberlin College and a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Stanford University. During a three-year NSF-supported post-doctoral fellowship in SMET education, Dr. Straumanis developed and tested materials for guided inquiry organic chemistry. Since 1997, he has given numerous talks and workshops on active learning in organic chemistry and the use of guided inquiry in large classrooms.
Catherine Bénéteau is an associate professor in mathematics and statistics at the University of South Florida. She was educated in Canada at McGill University where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics. She obtained her Ph.D. in 1999 at the University at Albany, under the supervision of Boris Korenblum. Her main research interests are in complex function theory and mathematics education.
Zdenka Guadarrama is an associate professor and chair of the department of mathematics at Rockhurst University. She is passionate about mathematics education and outreach, with her work currently focusing on mathematics curriculum development through inquiry, and the intersections of mathematics with other fields, particularly the arts.
