New teachers will review basic Calculus derivative and integral rules. Experienced teachers will explore the subtle changes and additions in the new curriculum framework to best prepare students for success on the AP exam.

Methods of introducing difficult concepts, as well as worksheets and student activities, will be shared. These exercises will facilitate conceptual understanding, which is, necessarily, the goal. The importance of written justification of problem solutions and correct presentation of student’s answers to ensure credit is earned will be addressed as well. All topics will be approached both with and without the calculator.
