Kind of a random post here, but I spent Tuesday at a pre-AP Calculus workshop hosted at Triton College in River Grove, IL. My school added AP Calculus a year ago. Obviously, we have been slow to the Advanced Placement party (not sure why the hesitation—definitely not coming from the math department). As a Pre-Calculus teacher, I was very interested to see what sorts of topics the College Board would emphasize in a Pre-AP conference.
