Creative project: 20 extra credit points in the homework category. (even if you have an A in the hw category, extra credit will still raise your grade)
Complete ONE Project (examples below). It must be original, school appropriate and not plagiarized. It must be related to calculus content we have studied this school year. It can be based on one topic or of multiple topics. If you have any questions or concerns please message Mrs. Leibold
Game: create a game based on a particular chapter/topic or multiple ones. The game can be physical and you can send me a video explaining it showing off the cards/pieces etc or it can be electronic.
Story book: Illustrations and appropriate calculus related story line. You can send me a video reading it or pictures of all of the pages.
Song: Can be based off an existing song but with your own lyrics. Send me a picture of the lyrics and a video of you performing it.
Movie—This is something usually students tackle as a group but if you want to do something like this that is fine
Computer program: If you have background in programming and want to write a program based on something we have learned this would be an option.
Something else? Clear with Mrs. Leibold
Career presentation (20/20 TEST points, not extra credit but still gives you another A in the test category):
Please do some research on a particular career that is related to calculus. Find information on specifically how is calculus used in the field, what education and experience you need to get into the field, salaries, day to day work.etc. Please make sure you list your sources. Make a powerpoint or use some other presentation tool. You can have someone video you presenting or you can record your voice on the slides.
**If you want to ensure you get all 20 points you can have me check it over prior to the due date
AP Calculus AB
Hello Calculus parents and students:
The grades currently posted in IC are the 9 week progress report grades and to remind you that grades cannot decrease from here on. I have already dropped one quiz from the gradebook but will not be dropping a second since there are no more mandatory assignments. If your child has already missed two they will not be penalized.
OLD work: All textbook assignments are open in canvas and can be completed for partial points if missing up until April 30. Please remember the assignment given for spring break is mandatory and must be completed also by April 30. This is one full AP test timed and graded. I have added in the 5 points extra credit if students attended on of the UCR trips earlier this semester and will still honor if someone would like to do a volume project for that 5 points if they were not able to attend the trips (due April 30—email me for details).
NEW work: I will be posting new assignments and projects for CREDIT on canvas at the end of this week and for the remainder of the time. Please check canvas a few times a week to keep updated. Remember you will not be penalized if you don’t complete them but to prepare for your AP test I highly suggest you do. As you are working through the material if you have questions please contact me via email, canvas, or remind. I just added some FRQ practice tests timed and graded in the quiz category. Most new work will be due at the latest May 11 as our AP test is May 12. I may assign an optional final project due after the test and will give out more details later.
AP TEST DATES:
You should have gotten an email from collegeboard as well as a parent square from Mr. Puig going over the new test dates and format for each test. The AP board has youtube study sessions weekly reviewing different topics. I highly suggest you watch these weekly for all of your AP classes. If you cannot take the test on the first given date and need the makeup date in June please contact Mr. Puig ASAP. Both AB and BC are scheduled for Tuesday May 12 at 11am. Please make sure you are ready to go and logged in ahead of time.
