The Advanced Placemment (AP) program provides students with the opportunity to develop the skills they need to succeed in university, from improved study habits, to exam-writing experience, to workload and time management. At Archbishop O'Leary, we support the Development Committee's recommendation that students use the highest level of technology on the list of approved calculators, TI Nspire CX. It is a common practice for students to justify the reasonableness of a calculated answer as well as verify the accuracy of the result through various techniques. The Development Committee of AP Calculus has found it necessary to make certain requirements of the technology students' use for AP Calculus Exams. Students are encouraged to use technology to explore, experiment, confirm written work, and to assist in interpreting results and supporting conclusions.
Technology will be used regularly by students and teachers to reinforce the relationships among the multiple representations of concepts.
The general philosophy of Advanced Placement (AP) Mathematics is to build enduring mathematical understanding whereby students are required to study the why and how of mathematics in addition to mastering the necessary procedures and skills.
