We warmed up by two problems in which we found the 1st derivative of a function and used that and a specified point to find the equation of the tangent line at that point. Then we graphed the original function and the equation of the tangent line on the graphing calculator. Then I introduced the Product Rule and we used the remainder of the session applying the rule to find the derivatives of functions that were products of two other functions.

Today in class, Jessica and I were to discuss the keys to writing a great introduction, as well as the results of her AP Exam practice essay.

We spent the entire session doing practice problems using the constant, constant-multiple, power, sine and cosine rules in finding derivatives.

discuss carbon dioxides role in the body
discuss acidosis and some common syndromes which will acidify the blood

Jessica took an in-class timed essay examination based on an AP English Language and Composition Prompt.

We spent the entire session doing practice problems from the text with minimal coaching from me. We worked through problems involving the power rule, the sine and cosine rules and combinations.
