What is Calculus?
Calculus uses the concept of limits to study
rates of change. Students will learn how to find
and use a rate of change function, called a
derivative.
What is AP?
AP stands for advanced placement courses.
The College Board had approved the content of this
course as equivalent to a university Calculus I
course. Students will have the opportunity to take
a national placement test to possibly receive
college credit for this course.
Materials Pencil, paper, and graphing calculator. Please refer to THS calculator policy for acceptable
calculators.
Required Text
Larson, Hosteller, Edwards 7th edition Calculus. Students are responsible for all
damages to textbooks.
Grading 60% of a student’s grade will be based on test and quiz scores. 20% will be daily work, graded
assignments, AP problems, problem packets and projects. A trimester grade will be computed
with a final exam worth 20% of the total grade.
Calculator usage A calculator may not be used in the first chapter of the course. Part of the AP
exam is non-calculator and students need to be able to perform several precalculus operations
without the use of technology. Students will also learn how to utilize graphing calculator
features to perform many calculus operations.
Testing policy Electronic devices (other than approved calculators) may not be in your possession
during a test. A place to keep those devices will be provided.
