Hi everyone!
This series is great for anyone who is planning to take AP Calculus AB or BC next year. AP Calculus covers a lot of material and requires a lot of practice to master the skills, so getting a head start on the material will definitely help you do well in the class and on the exam. The material covered in this series is based off of the AP® Calculus AB Course and Exam Description from College Board.
AP Calculus AB Course and Exam Description: https://apcentral.collegeboard.org/media/pdf/ap-calculus-ab-and-bc-course-and-exam-description.pdf
Classes will be at 6 PM EST every day, and more sessions will be added to the series as we go on. Note that there are optional AP Practice sessions and office hour sessions sprinkled in between at different times. Each session will start with notes (see the blank notes documents provided under each of the session descriptions) and end with practice problems (also linked under each session description).
Each session is scheduled to be an hour long, but the time may vary depending on the topic that we cover that day. Notes may take anywhere from 30 - 60 minutes. After notes, students are free to leave the zoom, or they can stay behind to work on the practice problems so they can ask questions as they do the problems. I will be available on the zoom call for about an hour after I finish notes to answer questions on the practice problems. The practice problems are optional but highly recommended.
To bring to class:
- ✏️ Pencil and eraser
- 📱 Calculator (preferably a graphing calculator; you will need one for the AP exam)
-📜 Paper or a notebook (to do the practice problems in)
- 📝 You can print out the blank notes for each topic if you would like, or just take notes digitally:)
Additional resource: Khan academy (https://www.khanacademy.org/math/ap-calculus-ab) is a great resource to supplement your learning for this course. Although I try to cover all the possible applications of concepts in the practice problems, Khan Academy has a lot of problems that you can do if you need more practice.
Qualifications: I took AP Calculus AB two years ago and AP Calculus BC last year and scored a 5 on both exams.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
No attendance policy!:) However, if you miss a session, it may be hard to understand the material in later sessions. You can always come to one of the office hours to catch up or ask questions if you can’t make it to a session.
