Description
The resource includes practice problems, rubrics, answer keys, error analysis sheets, and a note to students.
The resource is set up so that students can reflect on their own work using the Answer Keys and Rubric, then analyze their errors in reasoning using the Error Analysis Sheets. The Note to Students explains the process and includes links to explanations for most topics.
I have used resources like this one for my own AP Calculus classes with excellent results since 1998. My students hit the ground running in the Fall semester and were ready for limits and the definition of the derivative.
Topics Included:
- Piecewise Defined Functions
- Quadratic Word Problems
- Complete the Square for the General Form
- Solve Trigonometric Equations
- Find a Quadratic Equation from a System of Equations
- Use U-Substitution to Find Solutions of a Quadratic Type Function
- Find Vertical and Horizontal Asymptotes and Holes
- Use the Difference Quotient
- Polynomial Division
- Identify Intervals of Continuity
- Solve Exponential Equations using Logarithms
- Solve Logarithmic Equations
- Find the Inverse of each Function
