Welcome to the Math Section
The Mathematics Lighthouse Initiative was created by teachers for teachers to help to plan and coordinate Pre-AP* programs to enable students from all walks of life to participate in AP* classes! Two AP free-response problems (the ones that require students to show their work and are graded by actual humans), one from calculus and one from statistics, are presented here in their entirety with permission from the College Board. Following each problem are several variations written by Pre-AP teachers to be used in their math classes to address some of the difficulties that students had. You will see the actual worksheets that teachers made, so there will be different styles and formats. Figures are often hand drawn so they might be rough and not drawn to scale. Each variation includes a teacher version with commentary and answers followed by a clean copy that could be used with students.
