We are dividing our review work into 4 areas: A summary assignment will be due each Wednesday (details below).

MCQ Monday!

Targeted Tuesday!

Wonderful Wednesday!

Throwback Thursday!

FRQy Friday!

MCQ Mondays: Each week you will complete a MC exam. Some will be on paper, some will be in AP Classroom. They will be due at the start of class each Monday (you will walk in with your scantron complete if it is a paper test!). The point is for me to be able to scan your answers Monday and use class time to go over common mistakes on the questions (and play Human Histogram on other MC questions in the remaining time if any).

The best way to practice authentically is to follow the time (and calculator) restrictions for each exam. Some people like to make a note of which questions they were able to answer within the allotted time, but then continue working to complete all questions.

Targeted Tuesdays: Each Tuesday we will focus on one common "type" of FRQ. There are about 6 - 7 frequently tested topics in the FRQs (this list is not in any particular order!):

Area & Volume
Position, Velocity, Acceleration
Rates (Accumulations, Extrema, etc.)
FTC (Critical Numbers, Increasing, Decreasing, Concavity, etc.)
DE (Slope Fields, Solving Differential Equations, Second Derivatives with Implicit Differentiation)
Tabular Data & Riemann Sums
*Maximum, Minimum, POI, and JPCR (Just Plain Calculus Rules)

Classwork on Tuesdays will focus on examples of one targeted topic to understand the patterns and structures which can be used to solve similar problems. This process will include a close look at the current week's FRQs (from the previous Friday) to see which, if any exemplify the targeted topic. Homework will continue practice with the targeted topic.

Wonderful (Workday) Wednesdays: Each Wednesday will be a "catch up" day for you to spend time working on whatever you need to work on; all homework for the prior week is due, at the latest, at the end of the day Wednesday. You may use the time Wednesday to:

catch up on practice from other days that you have not completed,
work in greater depth on a topic on which you need more review (see me for resources if necessary),
revisit pre-calculus topics on which you need a refresher,
or just take a break and catch up on other classes that need attention, too.

Throwback Thursdays: Thursdays are reserved for a formal, sequential review of the entire course using the videos in AP Classroom. Homework will be to annotate the assigned AP Classroom Review videos. This is your opportunity to create a sequential, organized set of notes on the essential topics in Calculus.

FRQy Fridays: Fridays (and the weekend homework) are reserved for FRQ practice. Anything not completed in class is homework.
