In this lesson, I taught a topic from Calculus 1, finding area under a curve, using the website Desmos. Desmos allowed me to create a visual representation of the area we were finding, shade the area in, and solve for the exact answer. I believe that doing this greatly increases students' understanding of how the area is found and why/how we label the boundaries we are using in the problem.
