AP Calculus AB 1202310
Credit: One (1) Credit
Calculus deals with calculating and exploring variables that change at differing rates. The major concepts of calculus include limit, derivative, and integrals. In addition to these major concepts, students will successfully highlight numerous subtopics and methods as listed in the Calculus AB Topic Outline in the AP Calculus Course Description. Students will explore each concept in four different ways: graphically, numerically, algebraically, and verbally emphasizing the connections and applications. This class will prepare students for the Advanced Placement Calculus AB exam in which students may earn college math credit.
Prerequisite: “B” average or better in Honors Pre-Calculus & Trigonometry

AP Statistics 1210320
Credit: One (1) Credit
AP Statistics introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. The major concepts of statistics include: exploring data: describing patterns and departures from patterns, sampling and experimentation, planning and conducting a study, anticipating patterns, exploring random phenomena using probability and simulation, statistical inference, estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses.
Students will successfully apply these topics and subtopics to real world application of statistics through project based inquiries. Students will utilize statistical equations along with statistical software to make statistical models and conclusions. This class will prepare students for the Advanced Placement Statistics exam in which students may earn college math credit.
Prerequisite: “B” average or better in Algebra 2
