Tonight, continue working on the handout from yesterday. We will discuss the problems in class tomorrow.

AP Calculus 10-19-11

Try those problems I handed out in class. I didn't download the papers to the site. You'll have to wait until tomorrow for those that chose to miss class.

We discussed a possible group quiz on Friday covering related rates and position/function problems.

This could line up a test on Tuesday of next week. We'd take Monday to review. I'd give review sheets on Friday and be able to stay after Friday and Monday for help.

Also, plan on a partner/group quiz covering 2.1-4.
