AP Calculus AB
You've made it to AP Calc AB! This course is essentially a first semester college class! This year promises to be an exciting and challenging year filled with learning and fun! As your teacher, I will be doing my absolute best to support and listen to you all year long. As the student, you will be asked to think constantly, critically, and with depth. Students will be required to use the concepts and skills learned in previous math courses.
Throughout the year an open line of communication is key! I will be available to help you out at the first signs of difficulty however, most of the responsibility for your success falls on you. Make sure to reach out when you need help, spend time really understanding the math topics, and enjoy this year in calculus!
