STA TEM EN T OF P U R P OSE:
This Calculus course has been developed for the highly motivated twelfth grade student who has demonstrated proficiency in Algebra II and Precalculus.
The study of calculus involves three distinct states of mathematics: precalculus mathematics, the limit process, and the new calculus formulations of derivatives and integrals. This course is designed to help students make connections between familiar precalculus concepts and their more powerful calculus versions and to have students use precalculus formulas and techniques as tools to produce calculus formulas and techniques. One goal of this Calculus course is to have students recognize and make connections between the numerical, graphical and analytical interpretations of a problem. This course also promotes mathematical communication by asking students to interpret, describe, discuss, justify and make conjectures.
Separately we assess students to gauge progress and inform instruction. Benchmark assessments for students in grades 9 through 12 are administered in the form of a midterm and final exam for full year courses. *Special Note: Only final exams are administered at the end of quarter courses and semester courses.
Real-life application problems are incorporated throughout this course in order for students to see the applied nature, usefulness, and value of calculus.
This revision was undertaken to align with the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Mathematics, the New Jersey Student Learning Standards for Technology and the College Board AP Calculus AB/BC course outline.
GOA LS
This course offers students the opportunity to:
1. acquire a broad understanding of trigonometry and its real world applications. 2. expand the experience of graphing various types of functions and relations obtained in Honors Algebra II. 3. predict functions and future results given appropriate data. 4. extend the experience of the conics to include three dimensional models in preparation for Calculus. 5. extend the experience of sequences and series to include the concept of limit. 6. use the concept of limit and continuity to graph functions. 7. acquire a broad understanding of higher degree polynomial equations. 8. continue the use of the graphing calculator to explore functions and their graphs. 9. acquire a broad understanding and apply the concept of differentiation. 10. acquire a broad understanding and apply the concept of integration. 11. use self-assessment to identify their mathematical strengths and weaknesses and to help foster a better understanding of the concepts being taught.

Curriculum guides are designed to be working documents. Teachers are encouraged to make notes on the document. Written comments can serve as the basis for future revisions. In addition, the teachers and administrators are invited to discuss elements of the guides as implemented in the class- room and to work collaboratively to develop recommendations for curriculum reforms as needed.
AFFI RMAT I VE ACT I O N
During the development of this course of study, particular attention was paid to material which might discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, or creed. Every effort has been made to uphold both the letter and spirit of affirmative action mandates as applied to the content, the texts and the instruction inherent in this course.
MODIFICATIONS AND ADAPTATIONS
For guidelines on how to modify and adapt curricula to best meet the needs of all students, instructional staff should refer to the Curriculum Modifications and Adaptations included as an Appendix in this curriculum. Instructional staff of students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) must adhere to the recommended modifications outlined in each individual plan.
