HW: Do 1, 3, & 5 in the 2012 FRQs and check with the grading rubric. We will discuss any questions on Monday.
We went over the even 2012 FRQs. We checked the set up for 2a and went over all parts of #4 and #6. We also discussed the grading rubric, each FRQ is 9 points and students should attempt all parts of the question.
HW: Do 1, 3, & 5 in the 2012 FRQs and check with the grading rubric. We will discuss any questions on Monday. HW: Complete Worksheet 1 - 3 doing parts "A" and "b" only. On the 2012 FRQ packet please complete #2 part A and questions 4 or 6. Allow 15 minutes per FRQ.
Check your FRQs with the link below. https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/ap-student/pdf/calculus-ab/ap-2012-calculus-ab-scoring-guidelines.pdf We spent a second day setting up integrals that gave the area between 2 curves. We also showed how to use the calculator to find the intersection points and store those values (in "a" and "b") so that they are easily used in the evaluation of the integral. We also showed how to use the name of the function (VARS button) in the set up.
We also checked 1 - 5 (worked out #4) on WS 7.1 and did 66a (with the calculator). HW: Complete WS Finding Area I, II and III. The 2012 FRQs will be discussed in class the next 2 days (evens tomorrow and odds on Thursday). We reviewed and completed our notes and 4 examples on area between 2 curves. We used our understanding of the integral as the area under the curve to help us come up with formulas for given areas. We found that if we are accumulating slices from left to right the integrand is top - bottom and if we accumulates slices from bottom to top the integrand is right - left.

HW: Complete the attached WS 7.1 and Step by Step worksheet (66 a, b and 67 a) Students worked on their test 6.1 - 6.3 and turned in the homework from week 10 & 11.
HW: Prepare for your AP Exam using the Fast Track to a Five Book or getafive.com Students completed a warm-up problem of solving a differential equation. We went over this together. Then we went over common errors on the Quiz 6.2 - 6.3. We also went over questions from the Review 6.1 - 6.3.
During the last 10 minutes we started our 7.1 notes on how to find the area between 2 curves. HW: Test 6.1 - 6.3 is tomorrow. Please turn in the homework from weeks 10 & 11; details are in IC. Students worked on 2 exponential growth/decay problems. We went over these in class. Students had the last 17 minutes to complete their quiz 6.2 - 6.3. Students also received another Standardized Test Circuit Training Worksheet to practice for the SAT.
Students were given WS Differential Equations by Separation of Variables - Classwork. HW: Complete WS Differential Equations by Separation of Variables - Classwork: do 1 - 10 and the back side (6a - c). The study guide should be completed. Test 6.1 - 6.3 is this Friday, April 7th. Since about half the class are juniors, we watched a short video on the format and content of the math portion of the SAT. All juniors will be taking the SAT on April 5th. This is a requirement for graduation and the SAT score will be on the student's transcript.
Students then worked on slope field matching activity that was done with a partner. Students received feedback in class. Students also received a review of 6.1 - 6.3 which has answers included.

HW: WS review of 6.1 - 6.3 & be ready to complete Quiz 6.2 - 6.3 tomorrow. |
