Integrals (AB) and Their Applications Student Session Presenter Notes
This session includes a reference sheet at the back of the packet. We suggest that the presenter spends a few minutes only on the integration rules and does not spend time going over the whole reference sheet, but may point it out to students that it is available to refer to if needed. We suggest that students will work in small groups of 3 or 4 (depending on the size of the class), arrange the desks prior to the start of the session. We have intentionally included more material than can be covered in most Student Study Sessions to account for groups that are able to answer the questions at a faster rate. Use our trainer notes and your own judgment, based on the group of students, to determine the order and selection of questions to work in the session. Be sure to include a variety of types of questions (multiple choice, free response, calculator, and non-calculator) in the time allotted. Notice in the solutions guide the questions are categorized as 3, 4, or 5 indicating a typical question of the difficulty level (DL) for a student earning these qualifying scores on the AP exam.
I. 10 Minutes Introductory Activity
When students enter the room, ask them to complete the reference sheet about the
integration in the back of their packet as they wait a few minutes for the start of the session.
When the session starts, display the answers and let the students first mark and then correct any mistakes.
Let the students to work in their small groups on problems #1, 3, 18, 19, 24e and 26 while you actively walk around to monitor their progress, answer questions and gauge the level of knowledge of the group. Check the answers at the end of 10 minutes.
II. 10 minutes U-Substitution Practice
Model FR 24d, FR 29d. Let the students to work on problems 11, 15 and 17 in their groups. Play “pass the pen”
to discuss the answers. Pass the Pen: Ask for a student volunteer to begin pass the pen where the questions are projected on the board and the student explains how to arrive at the correct answer. The student then selects another student to discuss the next question and so on.
Extra practice questions on u-substitution: 2, 10, and 23. You may work on some extra problems in class or advise the students to work on these problems on their own time when they use this packet to study for their AP exam.
III. 15 minutes “Integrating the Rate”, “Meaning of a Definite Integral”, “FTC”,
“Real World Application of Integration” Problems Practice
Model problems FR27 and FR31.

Let the students to work on problems 8, 12, 20 and 28 in their groups. Play “pass the pen” to discuss the answers.
Extra practice questions: #25, 30.
IV. 10 minutes Algebraic Techniques of Integration (other than u-substitution) Practice
Model problems 6 and 7. Make sure you cover these two problems during the session
since these are emphasized in the most recent AP Cal AB/BC Course and Exam Description.
Let the students work in their groups on problems 14 and 16. Check answers.
V. 5 minutes Integral as a Limit of a Riemann Sum Practice
Work out the problems 4 and 9 together with the group. At the end of the session advise students to work on the extra practice problems 5 and 32
(integrating piecewise functions), 21 and 22 (average value of a function) on their own time.
We know this is a long packet and want to encourage our presenters to “pick and choose” the best questions for the group of students in your session. Encourage the students and teachers present to be sure to revisit the questions that you didn’t have time to cover in the classroom.
