This course is designed to prepare students taking AP Calculus AB or BC in the upcoming 2024-25 school year. The focus of the course will be on AP test problems for limits, derivatives, and integrals. The types of problems on AP tests tend to be more advanced than those in a typical textbook so students will gain experience with those sorts of problems. The instructor will teach mini lessons throughout but most of the student’s time will be spent collaborating on higher level problems with the other students in the class. Students will be assigned a homework set each Wednesday and the instructor will post a video solving each problem on Friday of each week. By the end of the course, the student should expect to have improved their critical thinking skills, familiarized themselves with the relevant concepts involved with limits, derivatives, and integrals, and will enter their school AP Calculus course with an ability to approach any AP test problem with confidence.
