Advanced Level

This course will introduce students to the first five units of AP Calculus AB as described by Collegeboard. The instruction will focus on limits and continuity, the technical application of differentiation, and the applications of derivatives.

As a self-paced course students will have access to the following content:
1. A readiness assessment to review prior knowledge of algebra and geometry skills; lessons are recommended for review based on the results of the assessment
2. A guided lesson with short videos, practice problems, and a Desmos Interactive
3. Multiple choice and free response questions to practice the topic of the week

While there are no live lessons, student work will be graded or reviewed and feedback will be provided for each topic as needed.
