Need
We started STEM Solutions to: Prepare students for STEM-related careers, which have had a recent high interest due to growing competition from foreign countries Aid in increasing the United States STEM education quality as compared with other countries (e.g. Japan, China) Exceptionally prepare students for the AP Calculus Exam, an essential part of STEM Education - The United States national average for passing the AP BC Calculus Exam is a little over 60%; Paul Bosleys success rate with these worksheets is around 90%.
Approach
We plan to address this need by offering: Comprehensive, cumulative worksheets that cover all three major topics of calculus required on the AP BC Calculus Exam Worksheets that review older material while reinforcing that days lesson at the same time Challenging worksheets that force students to truly think about the problem and understand the solution, instead of just regurgitating a learned answer
Benefits
This approach is beneficial because: Students comprehension of the topics become highly developed Rigorous problems improve students skills in both old and new mathematics topics Students become independent problem solvers, which benefit them both inside and outside of STEM-related fields Students are prepared for college and have a high probability of receiving college credit
