Calculus Honors Dunmore School District Dunmore, PA
Calculus Honors Prerequisite: Successful completion of Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus Honors Major topics include: limits, derivatives, integrals. Instruction is presented in a variety of ways including graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally. Students will be required to use graphing calculators to help solve problems. Since the content of a Calculus course is beyond the scope of Common Core, the Collegeboard Curriculum Framework 2016-2017 document was used as a guide to write this curriculum.
