interval notation, composite functions, products, factoring, finding zeros, quiz Pythagorean Theorem, right triangle evaluating functions at given points trigonometry Assessments: informal questioning end-of-unit quiz Interdisciplinary Connections: Additional Resources: N/A summer work packet College Board’s AP Calculus AB course description Subject: AP Calculus AB Grade: 10/11/12 Suggested Timeline: 20 42 minute periods – Unit Unit 1 - Limits Unit Overview/Essential Understanding: The limit plays a major role in calculus, as it is used to define both the derivative and integral. In this unit students explore the concept of the limit and a variety of techniques for evaluating limits. Although L’Hospital’s Rule for evaluating limits is a required technique, this method is explained later within the course content, as it relies on students’ knowledge of the derivative. Unit Objectives: Upon completion of this unit, students will demonstrate an understanding of the following topics and/or be able to do the following: concept of the limit
