I haven’t missed Unit 7! This unit seems to fit more logically after the opening unit on integration (Unit 6). The Course and Exam Description (CED) places Unit 7 Differential Equations before Unit 8 probably because the previous unit ended with techniques of antidifferentiation. My guess is that many teachers will teach Unit 8: Applications…
Unit 6 develops the ideas behind integration, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and Accumulation. (CED – 2019 p. 109 – 128 ). These topics account for about 17 – 20% of questions on the AB exam and 17 – 20% of the BC questions. Topics 6.1 – 6.4 Working up to the FTC Topic 6.1…

Happy New Year ! A few more links to posts on accumulation. Painting a Point (2-4-2013) Paint often and the paint accumulates. Good Question 6: 2000 AB 4 (8-25-2015) Accumulation Good Question 8 – or not? (1-5-2016) Accumulation Density (1-10-2017) Accumulation and Differential Equations (2-1-2013) Solving differential equations without the “+C“ Review Notes: Type 1 Questions:…
The idea that the definite integral is an “accumulator” means that integrating a rate of change over an integral gives the net amount of change over the interval.Many of the application of integration are based on this idea. Here are some past posts on this idea. Accumulation An introductory activity to explore accumulation and the relationship…
So, you’ve finally proven the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and have written on the board: And the students ask, “What good is that?” and “When are we ever going to use that?” Here’s your answer. There are two very important uses of this theorem. First, in words the theorem says that “the integral of a…
Integration – DON’T PANIC As I’ve mentioned before, I try to stay a few weeks ahead of where I figure you are in the curriculum. So here. early in November, I start with integration. You probably don’t start integration until after Thanksgiving in early December. That’s about the midpoint of the year. Don’t wait too…
