Hi all, hope you are well and staying
safe. Our directions for the week are below as well as some other
information you should read. We will run a final team’s meeting on Tuesday the 12th
to go over this mock exam and answer any last-minute questions at 10:00
A.M. To be included in that review you
must e-mail us by 4:00 P.M. on Monday.
Without an e-mail saying you want to attend these meetings you will not
be able to. Once you e-mail one of us,
you will get an invite in your school e-mail.
This is an unusual year for all of us with how the AP Exams are
working and you should have received your exam ticket over the weekend. As you
take the test just remember to read the questions carefully and if you are
stuck stop for a second and think what we have done that is similar to what
they are asking. You have all the Calculus skills you need to be successful,
please be careful with your Algebra. Use your calculator, your formula sheet,
keep the prediction packet handy, write down any volume formulas we have
discussed, and most importantly if you do not know how to do a question skip it
and move onto the next one. These questions were written to take the entire
time allowed. Make sure you stop working when the time ends and begin uploading
your work immediately. You only have 5 minutes to upload your work. Make sure you have printed out your checklist,
practiced with the demo, and know how you are submitting. Remember PDF is not
acceptable but follow the directions below if you choose to do so. Also remember you must log in 30 minutes
early to your exam.
Directions for Juniors for week of 5/11 to 5/22: Final preparations for the AP exam and Area between curves
We know most of you are taking more than one AP Exam over the next two weeks. So this week we are stretching out the work for this week to be completed over two weeks instead of one. If you are not taking AP exams and are behind on your work this would be a good time to catch up on your missing assignments.
Step 1: Watch
the video on Area Between the Curves. There is a notes packet that goes with
the video if you want to take notes to have as you complete the assignment.
Step 2: Complete
from your textbook: pg. 454-457 #2,3,6,25,28,29,30,32,33,34,36,38,41,44,48,52,54,56
and upload to schoology by 5/22 at 11:59 PM
Step 3: Complete
the discussion question on schoology by 5/22 at 11:59PM:
Additional
Important Information
·
Answers for all FRQs are posted on schoology and you should
check them.
·
Remember for those taking the AP test. The college board is
doing their review videos at the link below:
They are outstanding and should give you a nice review of the
material and I suggest you watch as many as possible, and as I previously
mentioned this week is testing tips and mock problems so watch and do as much
as you can. Also today we heard about
the AP cancelling students tests involved in a cheating ring. Do the best you can and do not put yourself
at risk trying to get an edge. Remember
there are very serious consequences for cheating including reporting to your
college and being banned from all college-board testing.
·
The prediction packet has many wonderful free response examples
that you should have been working through. If not start with one
problem per prediction ignoring the area between curves and rotational volume
prediction. When you get done go back and start with a second cycle
through. You have enough examples to make at least three complete
cycles. If the scoring rubric does not answer your question do not
hesitate to e-mail one of us and we will answer ASAP.
·
Grades are now active and building in the fourth quarter,
remember the fourth quarter is all process grades and some of you are missing
some significant work that has to get turned in to get a pass for the class in
the fourth quarter. Some of you are
missing significant discussions on schoology, so go fill those out this week.
·
If you did not read the testing information e-mail and
attachment on Friday make sure you go to your school e-mail and do so. Remember the testing information, and
checklist are on schoology as well as a typing syntax document if you decide
you do not want to photo your work on AP day and want to type everything
in. PLEASE PRACTICE with the demo this
week to make sure you understand how to operate the system on the 12th.
Miss you all very much and I know you can do this. Remember the work for achieving as high as
you can on the AP test now lies primarily in your hands. We will help you as much as we can under
these conditions and we are proud of the work you are continuing to do.
Work hard and if I can help let me know.
Mr. Halstead
