AP+Calc+AB

Friday 8/21: Today we met to discuss what prerequisite topics would be covered in chapter 1 of the book. We decided to cover each topic section by section but only cover the topics that are pertinent to the remainder of the course. We came up with the following outline: Section 1.1 Everything Section 1.2 Everything plus transformations Section 1.3 Exponential graphs and word problems Section 1.5 Just Logarithms Section 1.6 Trig definitions, unit circle, using calculators

Tuesday 9/15: Today we met to put together a time line that we will use for chapter 2 of the book. We talked about creating an in class activity for students instead of a quiz on 2.1-2.2 since the students are also quizzed on section 2.1 individually. We also talked about coverage for Mike's classes since we may have a baby soon. Hurray! We will continue to meet 2nd period on Tuesday as needed throughout the year.

Monday 10/5: Today we met to discuss how we were going to access the students for sections 2.3 and 2.4. Michele and Lisa are choosing to give a quiz on 2.3, while Mike will be giving a quiz on both 2.3 and 2.4 together. We also talked about editing and scheduling the chapter 2 test.

Monday 10/12: Today we met to review the chapter 2 test and make changes based past experience with the test as well as changes in curriculum requirements.

Monday 12/7: Today we met to discuss the chapter 3 test. We thought it was a good test and did not need any editing.
