Hello Future AP Calculus Student!
I’m so excited to work with you for the 2021 - 2022 school year! AP Calculus is a college level mathclass that will challenge your problem solving skills, build upon the prior math you’ve learned, andprepare you for future college classes. In order to cover the content before the AP test in May, we havea summer homework packet. Do not fear! The packet is just review! It is your guide to make sureyou’re comfortable with the material needed to be successful in AP Calculus.
Guidelines for AP Calculus Summer Homework
● This packet is not a required assignment, because you’re doing it before the school year.However, I highly recommend completing it. This assignment will be your way to check tomake sure AP Calc is truly a good fit for you. Believe in yourself!
● Helpful materials: old notes, khan academy, and a graphing calculator (you will need for class).If you do not have access to a graphing calculator, you can reach out to me or go todesmos.com/graphing to use a magical online graphing calculator.
● The best way to work on this packet is by doing a chunk of problems each week duringsummer. I know this homework may look overwhelming to start, but you’re going to be soamazed at how much your brain knows! Just like working out muscles to train for a marathonor sport, this packet is training your brain for all of the amazing math we’re going to do nextyear. Do a few problems each day, and before you know it you’ll be done! You can do it!
● I will post step-by-step solutions on my website (go to Freedom’s website, find the ‘Staff’ page,and then look for Reyburn). This is for you to use to check your work, not copy. I will also beavailable through email ([email protected]), remind (@apcreyburn), and my teacherinstagram(@ms.reyburn).
● I advise you reach out to peers also taking this course, or me if you need questions answered.Form a study group! Despite what you may think or have experienced in the past, the bestmathematicians work with teams, not in isolation. Your classmates will show you ways to thinkthrough problems that you never would have discovered yourself. I’m sure you will do the same forthem.
● As with all work, your answers should be yours. Photomath, your friend’s answers, and Googlemight be able to help you now, but they won’t on the AP test so let’s make good choices.
● Enjoy your summer! It’s no fun to do math when you’re stressed out. If you get stuck on someproblems, check out the examples or wait to review with a friend or in class. It’s okay if you don’tremember all of these topics right away, use this time to remind yourself that you can do this!
I look forward to working with you all next school year!

Part 1: Calculus Readiness Quiz
You do not need to remember everything from PreCalc in order to be successful in Calculus. However,there are skills and topics you should be comfortable with in order to be successful with this class. Wewill have a ‘readiness’ quiz during the first two weeks of school on this material. The quiz will be agreat indicator of whether or not you will feel prepared to take this course!
The practice problems below are similar to problems you could see on the quiz. The formatting isorganized so if you need extra practice, you can find it on Khan Academy. Each section matches asection from the course called ‘Getting Ready for AP Calculus.
