Instruction emphasizes connections among big ideas, multiple representations (numerical, graphical, verbal, and analytical), and strategic technology use.

Major topics of study in this full-year course include a review of pre-calculus functions; the use of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, mathematical modeling of differential equations; and the applications of these concepts. Emphasis is placed on notational fluency between the big ideas, the different representations, and the strategic use of technology to solve problems and draw conclusions. The course uses a multirepresentative approach to calculus, with concepts and problems expressed numerically, graphically, verbally, and analytically. This course is aligned to the new College Board AP Calculus AB course description that was introduced in 2020.  \nClassroom Requirements  \nThis AP course requires that a highly qualified math teacher be responsible for administering the course. This teacher is expected to interact with students regularly (either face to face or via chat and e-mail) and grade open-ended student responses. The teacher also should set up online discussions in the Collaboration Corner. In addition, he or she should provide instruction and coaching in calculator use as needed.  \nCourse Materials Textbook  \nFranklin D. Demana, Bert K. Waits, Daniel Kennedy, David M. Bressoud, and Michael Boardman. Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic , 6th ed. Boston: Pearson, 2020. [CR1] .  \nGraphing Calculator  \nOn-screen teachers will use an online graphing calculator tool for demonstration purposes. Students have access to a graphing calculator within the program and must have access to an APapproved graphing calculator both in the classroom and at home. Many assignments, projects, and practice exam questions will require the use of an AP-approved calculator. Supplemental information regarding use of graphing calculator software or a graphing calculator will also be provided in each unit.  \nClassroom teachers are expected to demonstrate the use of graphing calculators to their students as needed. [CR7]  \nExamples of Graphing Calculator Activities  \nGraph functions  \nTechnology Corner: Every technology corner in each unit has students using their graphing calculators to solve problems and explore the big ideas of that unit. [CR7]  \nSample of evidence: Students are given a worksheet in the Unit 8 Technology Corner with two functions defined analytically. They are asked to use their graphing calculator to graph the functions and determine the points of intersection. They then must use integration capabilities of the gr","cbCaipK2E74RdJv8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipK2E74RdJv8","pdf",448910,14,"English","# Course Description\n## Classroom Requirements\n## Course Materials\n## Graphing Calculator and Technology Corner\n## Example Calculator Activities","[{\"question\":\"What topics are included in the yearlong AP Calculus AB course?\",\"answer\":\"The course covers pre-calculus function review, limits, derivatives, definite integrals, mathematical modeling of differential equations, and applications of these ideas.
