Calculus BC
Calculus BC “We acquire skills by solving problems or answering questions that we have come to regard as important.” - Ken Bain Index cards are at the tables to write down questions. Jim Wysocki - Who Am I? Math teacher - 17 years 12th year at Chadwick Math Department Co-Chair Have taught courses at every level from pre-algebra to multivariable calculus in middle school, high school, and college. This year I am teaching GeometryHonors & Calculus BC In my 6 years of teaching Calculus BC, 90.5% of my students earned a 5 on the BC exam, and the other 9.5% earned 4s. Course Expectations Day-to-day approach Working problems every day Learning to read problems/text Asking questions on a daily basis Presenting work Willingness to engage in discussion Skills vs. Problem Solving Not an either/or proposition! To be successful in mathematics, both areas need to be stressed. One cannot solve problems without skills, but if all one does is practice skills, then they will be unprepared for real problems. Course Design Problem-based curriculum Concepts are introduced and spiraled throughout the year Primary textbook is a set of problems Daily/weekly homework Investigations, labs, and explorations Abstracts/Quizzes AP Review Communication Me to you: Emails Phone calls You to me: Emails jim.wysocki@chadwickschool.org Phone calls 310-377-1543 ext. 4117 Thank you for coming!
