NOTICE: I will be offering "Captivating Calculus" in period 5 on Choice Fridays in 1209 (if you come late and I'm not there, try to find me in the math lab or jr. dojo). Please use this as an additional opportunity to get help with calculus, or to come ask deeper questions that we don't have time for in class. Please let me know in advance if you are coming, as I normally teach during this period and need to get coverage in order to run Captivating Calculus. If you score below 80% on a test, this period of help is mandatory.

Schedule

Homework

If you are consistently spending more than 1 hour per day on homework, please see me. Nearly every section has an AP Classroom homework with a deadline (usually the next class). Paper assignments from Flipped Math will also be assigned, also due for the next class. Any additional homework will be listed here.

Exams

For MCQ, selecting the correct option gives you full points (as it would on the AP exam). Unlike the AP exam, you can earn partial marks if you show work and make significant progress. For the FRQ, you should make attempts to reasonably simplify (e.g. combine your integers into a single integer). This is different from the actual AP exam, where you only need to leave it in a form that a scientific calculator can evaluate. As for showing work, you should think about key steps; most of the FRQ can be solved in a few lines. Finally, keep in mind that every test in this course is partly cumulative, in the sense that I will be adding questions from previous units on each test, though they will make up a tiny portion. Math is not meant to be "siloed", and you need to be able to answer questions without having to cram for a specific unit.

Unit 10 mid-unit test

Scheduled for Wednesday, February 18 in-class. You should be proficient in all material contained in 10.1 through 10.9. More precisely, you should be able to:

Exam weighting: 8.75 (the Unit 10 final test will have an exam weighting of 17.5. Your Unit 10 mark will be the max of [{mid-Unit}*8.75/(8.75+17.5)+{final}*17.5/(8.75+17.5)] and {final}.) NOTE: any material from Units 1 to 9 is also fair game and may be useful/necessary.
