Turn a table into equal-width rectangles

Each task displays every endpoint and midpoint needed for its interval. Find the common width, choose the samples named by the method, then multiply the height sum by the width.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Use tabulated function values to compute exact Riemann-sum area estimates.

Worked example

Which values are used for a midpoint sum?

Use the table values halfway through each subinterval.

For n equal rectangles, select the n midpoint samples, add their heights and multiply by the common width.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Compute the common width before selecting table values.
  • Mark the selected x-values directly in the table.
  • Keep the width outside the height sum until the final multiplication.
