This course will give AP* Calculus AB teachers tools to help develop their students’ understanding of the concepts of Calculus, its methods and applications. There is a broad emphasis on a multi-representational approach to Calculus with concepts, results, and problems expressed graphically, numerically, analytically and verbally. Emphasis will be given to solving AP* style free response problems, reviewing important Calculus concepts, and learning strategies for improving our student’s AP* exam scores. Bring your textbook, solution manual, graphing calculator, and teaching materials to share what you have found to be valuable.
