In a group of 5  Create two problems (one having to do with rates of change (3.7) and the other with related rates (3.9) You are going to create two original problems connected with some sort of a theme (Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving....something else???) I remember a problem last year about a rate that a pumpkin is decaying or filling up cylindrical bucket with candy, etc. Each one should be on a small poster with graphics or illustrations. You will create the problem and solve the problem. (please make sure the math is correct).
You will be graded as follows 10 points per question in the quiz category:
