AP Calculus BC and Calculus 2 Readiness Review

Joan Kessler

My experience has shown me that even after Calculus 1, or AP Calculus AB, my students, even top students, were not prepared for the rigors of the algebraic and trig skills needed in Calculus 2. With a tight calendar, I don’t have a lot of time for review, and need to jump right in to new material
