The first week of school will be devoted to making sure that all students are well grounded in the necessary mathematics practices that are required for success in AP Physics 1 problems and labs. If these lessons are too easy for you, I promise the course gets much much more interesting very quickly. Additional topics are listed here as a reference. As we encounter a need for more "math moments," we will return to this section.
