Advanced Placement & Electives

This program is designed to accomplish the main goals of the precalculus course: to build a solid mathematical foundation and prepare students for calculus. The authors achieve this by focusing on a small number of key topics, thereby emphasizing depth of understanding rather than breadth of coverage.

• Presents each function symbolically, numerically, graphically, and verbally (the Rule of Four)
• An ideal lead-in to Hughes-Hallett’s Calculus. Both programs are developed by the Harvard Calculus Consortium
• Allows introduction of trigonometry via right triangle OR unit circle

Calculus, AP Edition by Anton and Bivens strives to increase student comprehension and conceptual understanding through a balance of rigor and clarity of explanations, sound mathematics, and excellent exercises, applications, and examples.

• Rated best AP Calculus book on apreviewbook.com
• Authored by Steven Davis, Chief Reader for the AP Exam

Calculus, AP^® Edition, by Hughes-Hallett, Gleason, McCallum, et al., promotes an approach in which understanding and computation reinforce each other. This edition reflects the many voices of AP teachers and faculty at research universities and colleges.

• The authors are members of the Harvard Calculus Consortium, the group credited with pioneering the “Rule of Four.”
• Deborah Hughes-Hallett won the American Mathematical Society’s 2022 Award for Impact on Teaching and Learning of Mathematics.

Introduction to Statistical Investigations by Tintle, Carver, et al. is the first AP Statistics program designed from the ground up to follow the GAISE recommendations endorsed by the American Statistical Association^®.

• Introduces a spiral approach to teaching Statistics
• Named the most promising new textbook by the Mathematical Association of America when it premiered

Cynthia Young’s College Algebra is an intuitive, supportive program for students that does not sacrifice the rigor needed for true conceptual understanding and preparation for more advanced math courses.

• Robust teaching and learning package with numerous digital resources in the WileyPLUS Digital Learning Environment
• Immediate insight into strengths and problem areas through a combination of dynamic course materials and visual reports in WileyPLUS
• "Modeling Our World" projects engage students by using real-world data to model mathematical applications found in everyday life

Trigonometry by Cynthia Young helps bridge the gap between classroom lessons and homework by mirroring the instructor’s voice outside the classroom through digital resources and learning activities. These materials take the guesswork out of studying by offering students an easy-to-read and clear roadmap that tells them what to do, how to do it, and whether they did it right.

Fundamentals of Physics, AP Edition by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker provides students with the skills they need to succeed in AP^® Physics and in future coursework, through its focus on conceptual understanding, problem solving, and real-world applications.

• Most widely used Calculus-based AP Physics book

Authors David Young and Shane Stadler created this curriculum around three main goals–conceptual understanding, problem solving, and establishing relevance—so that students can be successful in class and on the Advanced Placement^® exam.

• Rated best AP Physics 1 and 2 book on apreviewbook.com

From authors Hassenzahl, Hager, Gift, Berg, and Raven, Environment, AP Edition centers around themes of sustainability and environmental systems. This program fosters an understanding of the science behind the critical environmental issues we face today.

This program by Jespersen and Hyslop provides the forum for problem solving and concept mastery of chemical phenomena that your students need in order to succeed on the AP^®Chemistry exam.

Tortora's Principles of Anatomy & Physiology has been the leading program for students of human anatomy and physiology on college campuses and in high schools for several decades. Its exceptionally comprehensive, detailed, and accessible coverage makes it the standard resource of its kind.

• 3D interactives, like Real Anatomy cadaver software
• Practitioner's Perspective Videos
• Clinical Connection readings

In this program, Cay Horstmann introduces students to fundamental programming techniques and help them master basic concepts and skills to become confident coders.

Human Geography for the AP^® Course by Fouberg and Murphy teaches students to appreciate the diversity of people, places, and cultures that shape our world, while preparing them for success on the AP^® exam and in college and careers.

• The most widely-used Human Geography text
• No prerequisites means the course is perfect for ninth graders as an introduction to AP^® programs
• ArcGIS mapping technology, with maps vetted by professional cartographers
• Integrated AP^® Exam Prep features
• Wraparound Teacher Edition

Psychology in Action by Huffman, Dowdell, and Sanderson fosters student success through active learning, prompting students to think critically and engage with materials. With new pedagogical aids, students examine their own learning strengths and apply concepts to their everyday lives.

• Features like “Grit and a Growth Mindset” and “Personal and Professional Success” motivate students to do their best and develop habits for future success

Introduction to Personal Finance by Grable and Palmer prepares students to succeed in college-level courses and in life. Explore the content developed by professors of financial planning John Grable and Lance Palmer and see how it gives students the money smarts they need to gain full control of their future.

Welch’s Economics: Theory and Practice introduces students to basic economic concepts, institutions, relationships, and terminologies and is an outstanding resource for AP® Macroeconomics and/or AP® Microeconomics. Students learn how to use economic thinking in their course work, careers, and everyday lives.
