Get Ready For AP Calculus AB

Started

I will be covering Units 1-8 of the Collegeboard AP Calculus AB course. I will be following the Collegeboard curriculum. This course will require around 1-2 hours of work outside of our sessions because I am very briefly running through these topics (each unit has 5-14 topics) as a prep course for AP Calc AB. By the beginning of August, my goal is to cover all of Unit 1, so that you are all prepared for the upcoming school year. During our sessions, I encourage you to ask questions and try your best to participate and work through problems.

Flipped Classroom - AP Calculus AB Summer Crash Course

4th session

This five-week series will function with a flipped classroom - meaning you'll learn topics in your own time, practicing and ask questions during the sessions. This series is designed to be very fast paced and learner-oriented, so expect to be active in sessions and dedicate some time to learning whenever it fits your own schedule! I will not be giving lectures. Communication through microphone is preferred, but I understand completely if you would rather use the chat. Sessions will be twice a week on Wednesdays and Sundays at 7:30 PM PT. The plan is to cover the AP Calculus AB curriculum by mid-August. If you plan on registering as a learner, please read the following: Outside sessions: - Watch videos and do Khan Academy practice problems - Write a problem and solution (this isn't nearly as hard as it sounds, don't fret!) During sessions: - We'll start off by checking in to see if there's any specific questions from learners - Learners will pick a topic from what we're covering that session and give a brief explanation, presenting their practice problem (other learners will try to solve it and give feedback on the problem) - We'll wrap everything up with some more practice problems! This can all sound very intimidating at first, but it'll get easier with practice! AP Calculus AB can be challenging, and I hope that this series helps serve to prepare for that challenge during the school year. Resources are currently TBD. Co-hosts welcome (please DM first)!

AP Calculus® Summer Bootcamp (2024-25)

14th session

In this series we will be going over the AP Calculus AB/BC curriculum in a lecture-style format with tons of practice along the way. This series is perfect for anyone taking AP Calculus in the upcoming school year as we’ll spend time on various concepts to not only get you ready for AP Calc, but to fully understand it for the AP national Exam. Note: All sessions have not been added, however there are only 4 more (reflected on syllabus). This series will end on August 22, 2024 -- Syllabus: [https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pycxtn037zvay601f15zd/Syllabus-AP-Calc-Summer-2024-Bootcamp-3.pdf?rlkey=imq7wbft89tb08uc96wdb0x60&e=1&st=5bgmngz4&dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pycxtn037zvay601f15zd/Syllabus-AP-Calc-Summer-2024-Bootcamp-3.pdf?rlkey=imq7wbft89tb08uc96wdb0x60&e=1&st=5bgmngz4&dl=0) [](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pycxtn037zvay601f15zd/Syllabus-AP-Calc-Summer-2024-Bootcamp-3.pdf?rlkey=imq7wbft89tb08uc96wdb0x60&e=1&st=5bgmngz4&dl=0) Course structure: Instead of using existing lecture notes or following the order of the AP Calc curriculum, I have optimized the structure of our sessions so that we maximize the time learning important concepts and for understanding them. At the end, you will end up learning majority of the course. And by doing the practice problem sets (discussed later), you could master the entire curriculum. Lecture Notes: These will be posted in advance of about 2-3 sessions. You do not have to worry about printing them as they would be very minimal and I promote the idea of writing as I go so we all can stay at a good pace. Please write along as I do so that you can take the complete benefit of our sessions. Practice Problem Set and Homework: While each session will be done with the assumption that you haven't done the practice problems, they are still there for your benefit. However, in my many semesters of being in calculus classes, those who grind practice problems are the most successful. There is almost a direct correlation. Note about structure of sessions: Even though they are just 1hr 15min, I have left 45 minutes after our session for those who want to stay and ask me questions and/or go over additional practice. I will be available entirely from 3pm to 5pm. But for those who are feeling fine can leave freely! [](https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pycxtn037zvay601f15zd/Syllabus-AP-Calc-Summer-2024-Bootcamp-3.pdf?rlkey=imq7wbft89tb08uc96wdb0x60&e=1&st=5bgmngz4&dl=0) Questions/Talk to me: I will dedicate my time to entirely ensuring that every student in my session is able to understand the concepts completely. I will always be available to ensure that you understand the concepts and practice problems. And if you have any other questions about high school, college admissions, etc, feel free to let me know!

READ FULLY! Hey there! I am Kishan, a rising senior. I enjoy math a lot, particularly calculus - which I developed an interest for in 10th grade. I am currently halfway through teaching myself Calc III and a certified calculus tutor in Schoolhouse. This series is a relatively fast paced course that will cover the entirety of the AP Calculus AB/BC curriculum. We will start from the ground up, introducing ourselves to limits, derivatives, integrals, etc...So, if you are here to learn BC, consider skipping until UNIT 5. Hope you enjoy me as your tutor. I am going to add sessions as we go through the series.
