COURSE DESCRIPTION
The AP® Calculus AB course is a standard course in the calculus of a single variable. The course focuses on the understanding of differential and integral calculus through varied methods and applications. Students learn conceptual reasoning as well as presenting a solution algebraically, geometrically, numerically, or verbally. Students learn not only how to develop a clear understanding of the concepts, but also how to apply them in real-world situations. By the end of the course, students will be able to read and interpret graphical data accurately, use words to explain their reasoning and provide context for final answers, and understand how they best learn online. All of the topics in the AP® Calculus AB course are covered, as well as additional topics as time permits. Major topics include limits, continuity, derivatives and applications, definite integrals and applications, and first order linear differential equations. This personalized course features discussions, reflections, and projects that will help students to master skills in an engaging way. Students not interested in preparing for the AP® Exam will be offered alternative pathways.
