Lesson Plans for the Week of September 11, 2023

Test on Thursday!

I have assigned two “quizzes” on myap.collegeboard. One is multiple choice with 18 questions and the other is a free response with 2 questions (which you will be able to score your own frq). These are NOT for a grade in any way, BUT they are valuable for you to self-check your understanding of Unit 1. I have a due date so you can set a deadline for yourself and because I can’t leave them open indefinitely.

Monday

Wksht: IVT (1-9)

Tuesday

Twinning with Discontinuities (1-9)
