1 AP Calculus BC Syllabus Course Overview AP Calculus BC is the study of the topics covered in college-level Calculus I and Calculus II. This course includes instruction and student assignments on all of the topics as listed in the AP Course Description: Topic Outline for Calculus AB. AP Calculus BC is primarily concerned with developing the students understanding of the concepts of Calculus and providing experience with its methods and applications. The course is to help students see and interpret the world through the lens of integral and differential calculus. To that end, a focus is placed on providing a strong conceptual foundation including the concepts of a limit, a derivative and an integral. With a strong foundation and extensive practice with applications and problems, students become prepared for the AP Calculus Exam as well as additional coursework in Calculus. Rule of Four The course emphasizes an approach to Calculus, with concepts, results, and problems being expressed geometrically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. This course gives equal emphasis to all four methods of representing functions and their rates of change. Students are encouraged to be open-minded when approaching problems and to keep the Rule of Four in mind. Whenever possible, concepts are developed and applied using all of these representations. Additionally, emphasis is placed upon the connections among the representations. Technology is used regularly by students to reinforce the relationships among the multiple representations of functions, to confirm written work, to implement experimentation, and to assist in interpreting results. Through the use of the unifying themes of derivatives, integrals, limits, approximations and applications and modeling, the course becomes a cohesive whole, rather than a collection of unrelated topics. Assessment With each lesson, problems and exercises are assigned from WebWork (homework system) as well as the textbook. Released AP questions are used throughout the course as assessment items, homework and launching points for discussion. Students solve both calculator active and non-calculator problems, and they are required to provide appropriate written presentation of solutions, similar to the requirements of the Free Response section of the AP Calculus Exam. Written justification of calculator solutions are taught and learned so that there is a clear and logical link leading from the mathematics to the technology and then supporting the result. Explaining the why is stressed as much as the how. Examinations are designed to be experiences that allow students to make connections beyond merely learning procedures. Students are required to maintain a Calculus notebook to summarize their learning and provide a valuable resource for preparing for the AP exam. AP Calculus BC Syllabus Page 1
2 Calculus Classroom Team In order to facilitate student learning and ownership of content, the students are placed into teams. The typical class begins each day with students articulating previously covered topics and discussing homework assignments within their respective team and in whole-class discussion. Homework assignments are designed to reinforce new topics covered. The emphasis for the class is discussion among team partners and fellow teams as opposed to a more traditional direct-lesson approach. Students are expected to take an active part in daily discussions and activities. Technology Instruction will be given using primarily the TI-83/84. This graphing calculator will be used daily in the class. The chapter tests are divided in two parts: one without the use of any calculator and the other part requiring the use of a graphing calculator. The graphing calculator allows the student to support their work graphically, and to make conjectures regarding the behavior of functions, limits, and other topics. This allows students to view problems in a variety of ways. The most basic skills on the calculator: graphing a function with an appropriate window, finding roots and points of intersection, finding numerical derivatives and approximating definite integrals, are mastered by all students. Students have their own calculator and programs, such as Riemann sums, slope fields, and Newton s method, to name a few. The homework delivery system of WebWork will provide a bulk of the practice and grading of the daily exercises. This system provides instant feedback on correctness. Key Curriculum s SketchPad program Calculus in Motion, web based Visual Calculus, and Winplot graphing utility (for student presentations) are also incorporated.
