Keep moving along a curve. Two items in the set of released free-response questions from the 2010 AP® Calculus BC exam involve movement along a graph. One involves particle motion along a polar curve while the other uses a squirrel...

There is just a single real-world problem. Released free-response items from the 2007 AP® Calculus BC Form B contains only one real-world question. The question involves rate of change of wind chill scenario. The mathematical problems...

Though the items may be older, they still provide information. Released free-response items from the 2002 AP® Calculus BC exam provide teachers and pupils with information about how topics appear on the exam. Questions come from the AB...

What do a zoo, snow, and a moving particle have in common? The six free-response items from the 2010 AP® Calculus BC exam allow teachers and pupils see how items may show up in context. Three of the questions are from only the BC portion...

Ready to field questions about slope fields? An article on AP® Calculus teaching methods describes how to teach about slope fields to solve differential equations. It gives some sample problems to consider with the class and how to...

All's fair in math and war. Scholars examine the Battle of Trafalgar using calculus. They set up and solve a system of differential equations to determine the number of ships remaining in each fleet over time.

Sometimes close enough is appropriate. A curriculum document for AP® Calculus examines the importance of providing approximation questions throughout the course. It looks at approximating derivative values, approximating definite...

Given a set of questions, pupils realize the way the Calculus BC free-response exam asks questions. The items include both contextual and non-contextual questions. Both types are split into the calculator and non-calculator sections for...

There are shaded areas, particles, polar equations, oh my! Teachers use the materials to see how their pupils compare to the AP® Calculus BC exam expectations. Scholars use the released items to practice on several BC topics and become...

In this differential equations worksheet, students solve three sets of questions. The first section is titled "Existence and Uniqueness." The second section is titled "Linear Independence and Dependence," and the third section is about...

In this calculus instructional activity, students identify functions as linear or nonlinear, homogeneous versus nonhomogeneous by using the reduction power theorem. There are 5 questions.

In this calculus worksheet, students examine a situation form The Simpsons in whcih Bart falls from a tree house.  Students write and solve an differential equation that gives the height of the tree house. The...

At this site the student can move to sites on various topics in calculus. The site then has a link to both a tutorial and example site

The tutorial explores differential equations. Topics examined are first order differential equations, second order differential equations, Laplace transforms, Fourier series, higher order differential equations, and systems of...
