A student asked a great question earlier today when we were talking about the connection between position, velocity, and acceleration in calculus. She asked, “if the integral of acceleration is velocity, and the integral of velocity is position, then what’s the integral of position?”

We had a great conversation about it after I did some thinking and research.

Here’s an in depth explanation for anyone interested. #teaching #math
