2. Calculus with Analytic Geometry I (Calc AB)
In AP Calculus AB, students study Functions, Graphs, and Limits; Derivatives and their Applications; and Integrals and their Applications. Calculus pulls together many of the concepts the students have studied in previous courses, and it also helps them to see the relevance of the material they were taught prior to Calculus. I believe that AP Calculus AB gives the students a strong foundation for the math and science courses they will take in college.
Rule of 4
Graphically, Analytically, Numerical, & Verbal

3. Credit Options Beyond High School
AP Test
Dual Enrollment
A 3, 4 or 5 will likely earn credit at a university.
Based upon a single test score.
Test is made up of 4 parts
Multiple Choice (Calculator & Non-Calculator)
Free Response (Calculator & Non-Calculator)
New increased emphasis on conceptual understanding
Attended an AP conference to learn what is expected of students on the test.
Student earns college credit for MAT221.
4 credits (must pass both semesters to earn credit.)
Must pass accuplacer to enroll- CGCC will have a representative in the cafeteria at 8:00 tonight.
The grade includes test and assignment points- good for hard working students who may ‘freeze’ on big tests.
Transfers to AZ universities; would need to check if it transferred to out of state schools.
