Monthly Schedule

(AP Calculus AB, Period D)

M 5/3/04	AP review, full period for everyone. If you have an AP exam in another subject today (either morning or afternoon), you may skip class if you inform me in writing. E-mail is preferred. Bonus opportunity (2 points): Show me a set of fresh spare calculator batteries. If you have not already done so, please read the AB Calculus Cram Sheet.
T 5/4/04	Same rules as for Monday 5/3. The 2-point battery bonus is still in effect (limit one per student). Answer key to multiple choice problems distributed in class today: DABCC BEDDE BBCB BBDDD EECDA
W 5/5/04	AP Calculus AB examination, 8:00 a.m., Trapier Theater. Bring calculator, spare batteries, and several sharpened pencils. The multiple choice portion must be in pencil. You are permitted to write the free response portion in pen if you wish.
Th 5/6/04	Start of group project.
F 5/7/04	HW due: Project proposal (approx. 1 page, double-spaced). Shorter is permitted. Do not add padding or “baloney” words if you can say in fewer words what you are proposing to study. Pick one of the project ideas given in class yesterday, or pick one of your own. Since no projects will be actually begun until I have approved them, you may consider this to be a first draft. Be sure to explain the mathematical aspects of your project idea. Although a calculus connection is preferred, a purely statistical project is also acceptable. (If you choose a statistics project, I will be happy to help you with the technical details of a statistical study.) All three group members are responsible for this submission. If someone is absent, the group leader is responsible for deputizing one of the other members and making sure that a copy is e-mailed to me in a timely fashion.
M 5/10/04	Work in class on group project.
T 5/11/04	Work in class on group project.

However, you may leave your jacket on the bus while you are inside the museum. You may wish to bring a few dollars for the soda and snack machines and/or gift shop at the museum. Admission is free. If you do not go on the field trip, you must attend all of your non-calculus classes for the day. If you have notified me of a need for extended time on your project, then I will accept the written version today until 3:00 p.m. without penalty. Don’t forget your group leader report page.
