Maple allows you to plug in your function at certain intervals whether they are large numbers or small and calculates the integrals with ease. It also provides you with the tools needed to create a 3-D model of the work in various forms using different methods. Maple lets you quickly design your model using commands and also contains apps in order to check the work. The tool allows students to make connections with the relationship of a geometric form to arbitrary functions. Not only does it do this but, it provides students with further knowledge on the topic by expressing characteristics of the models such as partitions and provides information about the model a student may not have realized. The audience for the worksheet are students in college and high school students taking either calculus or physics. The students should know both the shell and disk method of finding volumes of revolution as well as taking integrals, The content is delivered as a worksheet to be done in classroom. Maple is appropriate for this deliverance of content because it can be used to express geometric shapes and compare them with others. Not only this but, it may help students create steps for solving problems.
