Honors and Advanced Level Course Note: Advanced courses require a greater demand on students through increased academic rigor. Academic rigor is obtained through the application, analysis, evaluation, and creation of complex ideas that are often abstract and multi-faceted. Students are challenged to think and collaborate critically on the content they are learning. Honors level rigor will be achieved by increasing text complexity through text selection, focus on high-level qualitative measures, and complexity of task. Instruction will be structured to give students a deeper understanding of conceptual themes and organization within and across disciplines. Academic rigor is more than simply assigning to students a greater quantity of work.
EOC exam counts for 30% of overall course grade.

Course Description

This course meets for two periods all year long with an opportunity to earn up to 8 college credits through the AP Exam in May. We discuss the concepts of limits and how they apply to major calculus concepts such as derivatives, integrals, and infinite series. We will apply these concepts to various situations, such as the movement of an object and finding volume of 3-d figures. We will explore how parametric equations can better explain the movement of an object through vectors as well as the derivative and area in the polar coordinate system.

Additional Information

It is strongly recommended that students have a graphing calculator to use at home. Students must sit for the AP exam in May.
