85 % or higher in Pre-Calculus 11 4 credits Full year Classroom-based
Calculus 12 is designed to prepare students to study calculus at a post-secondary institution . Calculus 12 focuses on the Big Ideas of limits , instantaneous rate of chance , the inverse relationship between derivatives and integrals , and continuity . These Big Ideas and the content areas are connected through the competencies of reasoning , understanding , communicating , and connecting ; in addition , students ’ mathematical habits of mind are strengthened through these competencies . Topics include functions , limits , differentiation , and integration .

AP Statistics
Prerequisite
Course Credit Course Duration Delivery Method
90 % or higher in Pre-Calculus 11 4 credits Full year Blended : classroom and online
AP Statistics is taught in a blended approach in which classes include scheduled time during the timetable at the student ’ s current school , online work ( both individual and collaborative ), and biweekly sessions directly after school . While statistics is in the field of mathematical studies , students must also have strong writing , reading comprehension , and communication skills . Statistics focuses on the ability to understand data accurately and to interpret numbers in context to help inform decision making . This course culminates with the final AP examination offered by the College Board .
