How much of the material is really important? Pupils use the free-response questions from the 2014 AP Calculus BC exam to see how the questions appear. With the supporting material, teachers understand the topics that appear on the test...

The split is 50-50. Released free-response questions from the 2016 AP Calculus BC show that half the questions are from the AB portion of the course and the others are from the BC portion. Teachers and pupils use the items to prepare and...

Learn how to use a matrix to organize data to solve a problem. This activity uses wins and losses to rank players for an air hockey tournament they wish to have. After practicing some basic matrix operations the class could do the...

Get better prepared. Individuals use the six released AP® Calculus BC free-response questions to practice for the actual exam. The questions contain two calculator items and four non-calculator items. Topics include particle movement,...

Let them eat cake. The free-response questions from an AP® Calculus BC exam cover several topics that include finding the area under a curve within the context of creating a birthday cake. Calculus concepts include finding rates of...

Though the items may be older, they still provide information. Released free-response items from the 2002 AP® Calculus BC exam provide teachers and pupils with information about how topics appear on the exam. Questions come from the AB...

Let's put it in context. Pupils use the AP® Calculus BC free-response questions to practice for the exam. Five of the six released items deal with mathematical problems, with one using a real-world situation. Learners use differentiation...

Take a second look. Form B of the AP® Calculus BC free-response questions allow pupils and teachers to see another set of items. The six questions expand the set of items from the 2011 free-response questions. Form B items include a...

Keep moving along a curve. Two items in the set of released free-response questions from the 2010 AP® Calculus BC exam involve movement along a graph. One involves particle motion along a polar curve while the other uses a squirrel...

Young scholars analyze taylor series for convergence. In this calculus lesson, students analyze the graph of a taylor series as it relates to functions. They use the TI calculator to graph and observe the different series. 

In this calculus worksheet, students solve 28 multiple choice problems. Students find derivatives, volumes, limits, convergent series, etc.

In this calculus instructional activity, students solve functions using the derivatives. They calculate the volume where the graph is revolving around the x-axis, a line, the y-axis and where x=e. There are 28 questions.

In this calculus worksheet, students solve functions by taking the derivative of the equations. There are 28 questions using logs and trig functions.

Learners prepare for the calculus concepts of limits by examining sequences that converge and diverge. By using an Excel program that generates sequences, students manipulate the starting number, multiplier and add-on values, and examine...

In this math worksheet, learners examine the concept of orders of convergence for a sequence. They practice finding the different rates of convergence.

In this calculus question worksheet, students read calculus questions by their peers. The students attempt to teach each other by answering the written questions. Questions cover limits, test for convergence, approximation, interval of...

In this math worksheet, learners investigate the concepts of divergence and convergence for the functions. The sheet is handwritten and has poor quality.

In this math worksheet, students examine the concept of intervals and how they converge. Then students apply the Taylor series for the problems.

Geometric series either get bigger or approach a single number. So, how do you know which it is? An interactive presents three different geometric series with varying common ratios. With the aid of patterns, pupils determine values of r...

In this AP Calculus BC practice exam, students solve twenty-eight multiple choice problems without the use of a calculator.  This worksheet should be completed in fifty-five minutes.

In this AP Calculus review worksheet, students solve twenty-eight multiple choice questions in preparation for the AP Calculus BC exam.
