Original Prompt

Please give me a comprehensive review of Unit 6 of AP Calculus AB entailing the following topics: • Approximating areas with Riemann sums (left, right, midpoint, trapezoidal) • Defining the definite integral as the limit of Riemann sums • Properties of definite integrals • The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (Parts 1 and 2) • Antiderivatives and indefinite integrals • Integration techniques (u-substitution) • Accumulation functions and their applications • Interpreting definite integrals in cont...

This resource covers Unit 6: Integration and Accumulation of Change in AP Calculus AB. It aims to help students master the fundamental concepts of integration, focusing on Riemann sums, definite integrals, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, and various integration techniques. Students will learn the connection between differentiation and integration, how to approximate areas using Riemann sums, and how to apply the Fundamental Theorem to evaluate change. The document includes key vocabulary, guided practice with worked examples, concept checks, and opportunities for reflection on misconceptions. It also emphasizes the significance of accumulation functions and contrasting interpretations of definite integrals. The unit culminates with a synthesis of AP-style practice questions to prepare students for their assessments, reinforcing important formulas and common errors to avoid.
