But first we’ll gaze at the massive White Rocksin SW Virginia and imagine how relieved the pioneers must have been to knowthat they were within a day’s journey of “the gap.” We’ll empathize with thechallenges the pioneers faced as they spent their last night of ‘protection’ inthe “the most authentically re-constructed frontier fort in America:” Martin’sStation. We’ll hike another short segment of Wilderness Trail and take a rangerledtour of Gap Cave with its giant stalagmite (the “pillar of Hercules”).

These tests count as part of a student’s grade, andall the material on them is assumed to be common knowledge on the firstday of school in August. Students do not need to take these tests during thesummer, but all three must be completed by the 6-week grading period of firsttrimester in the fall. One test is over graphing, the second over trigonometry,the third over logs and exponential functions. This 15-hour course is dividedinto three units (each unit lasts five hours), one per test. During the first week,we review, explore, and discuss graphing and many related topics. At the end ofthe week, students go home with the first test. The following two weeks workthe same way with the other two units. This is a great way to get the tests out ofthe way, fill in any gaps, and help yourself make a final decision about whetheror not AP Calculus is for you. In fact, if we get ahead, we will begin examininglimit theory, the first unit in the AP course.Instructor: Dr. Michael Goldberg, Mathematics TeacherDate: June 6 – July 1Time: TBAGrades: Anyone eligible to take AP Calculus ABMin/Max Students: 1 – 7Registration Deadline: June 1Tuition: $525K103: Tortoise and the HareWhether you are a tortoise or a hare, we will cultivateeach tortoise and hare’s love of running.
