During this AP Calculus AB Summer Institute, participants will explore the concepts and applications of the topics in AP Calculus AB from the Course and Exam Description (CED) that are beyond the Precalculus course.
Participants are encouraged to bring a graphing calculator and also might want to bring a laptop computer. Technology will be used to discover concepts, enhance instruction, and to solve problems.

Additionally, participants will:
- Complete and discuss both Multiple-choice and Free-response questions

Throughout this workshop, participants will:
- Discuss each section of the Course and Exam Description (CED).
- Outline the instructional plan by Unit and Topic in an academic calendar.
- Discuss examples of how AP Classroom can be utilized to develop each practice/skill.
- Practice interpreting data within the Instructional Planning Report to identify student strengths and weaknesses.
