IB/AP Calculus AB/SL
Update:
I suppose by now we have all heard that IB exams are cancelled, and AP exams will be administered online and will last only 45 minutes.
As for our work schedule, I plan to stick with the AP review as is. The assignments are posted on Google Classroom. Please post questions on the home page and I will answer them!
For IB: we will NOT complete Chapter 12 (vectors). This topic is removed from the new curriculum, so I feel no qualms removing it from the curriculum this year. Vectors are fun and useful and super-interesting, and if you are coming to HL next year, you still need to know them, but for this year, b'bye vectors.
ALL IAs are being submitted to IB!
I will still grade them and provide comments to IB, but your papers will be officially graded by IB examiners. I believe YOU will have to upload these documents (as you did EE's and ToK essays). My scores and comments will also go to IB, as well as 'Predicted Grades'. To calculate your predicted grade, I will use your test scores from throughout the course. We have covered mostly calculus, however, and I need one more data point to make the best prediction possible. To that end, I will assign a 'quiz' on Google Classroom to assess your stats and probability progress. This information will be used to complete my knowledge of you as a math student to provide the most accurate predicted grade possible. If your score is unusually high or low compared to your past assessments, I will take it with a grain of salt. In other words, if you cheat, it will not help you; if you are super-distracted and unable to do your best, I will not penalize you.
Lastly, if you feel that your IA could use some work, please get all updated IAs to me by April 5. As always, please be in touch if there is anything you are unsure of or worried about. I am here for YOU. Be well, I miss you, stay safe, and get some exercise. ~R. Dold

Assuming May test dates are still on:
Here is the recommended practice schedule for AP Calculus (test date: May 5, 8am)
March 16 - 20 Fast Track Chapters 1 and 2 (we have not talked explicitly about l'Hospital's Rule yet, so read up)
March 30 - April 3 FT Ch. 3
April 6 - 10 FT Chapters 4 and 5 (AB only)
April 13 - 17 FT Ch. 6
April 20 - 24 FT AB Practice Test #1 (paying attention to time)
On or before April 20, I will post actual practice AP exams. I will also generate some AP classroom assignments. Grades for the 4th 9 weeks TBD.
Recommended IB Practice Schedule:
Test Dates: Paper 1 May 11, 12pm; Paper 2 May 12, 8am
March 16 - 20 Oxford sections 8F through Ch. 8 Review => look for a recorded PowerPoint about Cumulative Distribution at the end of this week)
^^^If you are not familiar with Linear Regression, please complete the Ch. 10 assignments^^^
March 30 - April 3 Oxford 15A through 15F => there will be a lesson posted about probability distributions
April 6 - 10 Oxford 15G through Ch. 15 Review => there will be a lesson posted about Normal distributions
April 13 - 17 There will be an 'assessment' this week to help me complete your predicted grade. Keep an eye on Google Classroom
