AP Precalculus centers on functions modeling dynamic phenomena. Research indicates that deep understanding of functions and their graphs as embodying dynamic covariation of quantities best supports student preparation for calculus.
AP Exam Overview
Can be used to inform formative & summative assessment construction.
Preparing for the AP Exam in Unit 2
Exponential & Logarithmic Functions
Students should practice clearly delineating the processes that lead to answers when solving equations, finding equivalent expressions, and building function models. Since manipulating exponential and logarithmic functions requires a great deal of precision, students should avoid “skipping steps” as errors can be easily introduced with these function types. Furthermore, on the free-response section of the AP Exam, answers without supporting work may not be acceptable, so students should practice clear communication throughout the course. Students will continue to use technology to explore multiple representations in this unit as they did in Unit 1 and will expand their use of calculating regressions to include exponential and logarithmic regressions. They should practice calculating various regressions on data sets, plot the residuals, and justify the choice of a function model based on analysis of the residuals. Students should be fluent with the practices of entering data, calculating regressions, and plotting residuals with the graphing calculator before the AP Exam.

Reengagement & Reassessment
Progress Check Unit 2 Part 1: Topics 2.1-2.8
24 Multiple Choice Questions & 2 Free Response Questions
Reengagement One Pager See document.
Reengagement Template (One Slide). See slides.
Need to Do a Class Review for your Next Big Summative Assessment? Instead of wasting time and boring students with a comprehensive review, provide those notes and try something different instead. Rather than reviewing first and then doing a practice test, consider giving the practice test first and then reengaging around the results for a more targeted and engaging review.
