Course Outline

The course frameworks for AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC define content students must know and skills students must master in order to earn transferable, long-term understandings of calculus. The frameworks reflect a commitment to what college faculty value and mirror the curricula in corresponding college courses. Teachers may adjust the frameworks to meet state and local requirements. The frameworks are organized into logical sequences, based on teacher input and commonly used textbooks. These sequences represent one reasonable learning pathway for each course, among many. Teachers may adjust the suggested sequencing of units or topics, although they will want to carefully consider how to account for such changes as they access course resources for planning, instruction, and assessment. Balancing guidance and flexibility, this approach helps to prepare students for college credit and placement.
