Riassunto

This book contains 80 poems and 8 miniature children’s books, composed and created by the AP Calculus BC students at Concordia International School Shanghai in Dr. Daisy Zhang-Negrerie’s class during the year of 2014-15. At the peak of their understanding, the students unleashed their creativity and pushed the boundaries of their imaginations as they reflected on the essence of each calculus concept, finding new connections, constructing new metaphors, and exploring unconventional forms to communicate their knowledge, insight, and discovery.
