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.
Directions for week of 4/27-5/4: More AP Practice problems
We have now finished everything on the exam. We will be practicing AP problems pretty exclusively until the AP test now. Then we will work on the lessons that are not on the AP exam including Area between curves, rotational volume, and cross-sectional volume.
Step 1: Download and print out the three AP problems (Pay attention there are two links here you must click on) that are due on Monday 5-4-20 at 4:00 from the blog, the first two problems are from Byran Passwater and this is his mock of the AP exam that mimicks the 12th. They are wonderful and he probably has a real good feel for what the test is going to be like since he is one of the presenters on the you-tube videos on the AP review site:
Step 2: Do these three problems like you
will on the AP test with notes, formula packet, and calculator. Photo
them and send them back to Mr. Halstead via e-mail. I suggest you download an app like genius
scan and practice scanning them and then downloading them to the e-mail
(Halstead). Remember you will only have
5 minutes to download each problem and I do not know how easy it will be to
type the entries in. I should find more
information out about that on the 28th, and hopefully have a way for
you to practice with the interface.
There is no discussion question to answer on schoology this week.
· Answers for last week’s FRQs will be posted tomorrow on the blog
and you should check them, remember last week’s problems are due Monday 4-27-20
at 4:00.

Remember for those taking the AP test. The college board
has now started their review videos at the link below:
They are outstanding and should give you a nice review of the
material and we suggest you watch as many as possible
· 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.
· I am going to do teams meetings every Monday at 2:00 reviewing
the previous 3 AP practice problems. This
is the parent notification of the fact we will be running these meetings. You must send us an e-mail though by 6:00 the
Friday before so you get an invite though.
Without that e-mail saying you want to attend you will not be able to. Once you e-mail us you will get an invite in
your school e-mail during the weekend.
These meetings will essentially be to answer questions on the ap
problems that are due the previous week.
· 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 will be difficult to get turned in all at once to
get a pass for the class in the fourth quarter.
Suffice
it to say, if you keep doing your work you will be ok.
Miss you all very much.
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 we can help let us know.
Mr. Halstead.
