Teaching Topics Efficiently: Expressions and Equations From Algebra Through Calculus
When: Tuesday, February 15, 2022 | 7 p.m. Central time
Technology: TI-84 Plus family, TI-Nspire™ CX technology
Presenters: Janice Mitchener, Scott Knapp
Students begin to work with equivalent expressions in algebra and continue through their high school math courses.
In this webinar, AP® Calculus Readers will discuss seeing structure in expressions and equations from algebra I through calculus. They will highlight expectations across the grade levels, building a conceptual foundation in preparation for AP® Calculus. Ultimately, on the AP® Calculus exam, students will be expected to use and recognize equivalent expressions on the multiple-choice section. For example, students should be able to rearrange expressions into equivalent forms before evaluating a limit.
Students should also be able to convert simple rational and radical expressions into exponent forms before finding a derivative or antiderivative. The presenters will utilize both TI-84 Plus CE and TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculators during the webinar.
