Get help with Calculus 120

Most tutoring makes you sit through material you already know. MapleMind flips that: pick the exact skill that's causing trouble — any of the 18 below — and the tutor teaches just that one, step by step, as many times as it takes. Ask questions in plain words, any time of day, in English, French, or 12 other languages.

The official New Brunswick Calculus 120 curriculum

New Brunswick defines Calculus 120 by strands and outcomes. MapleMind teaches the same curriculum reorganized for one-skill-at-a-time tutoring — the table shows exactly where every official strand lands, and the ministry's own wording is quoted under each unit below.

How MapleMind teaches Calculus 120 — every unit, lesson, and skill

Every skill below runs as a short session: a plain-words lesson, a worked example, solving it together, then a five-question skill check that earns up to three stars. Guided Mode keeps it teaching instead of answer-handing — turning it off needs a parent's password.

Unit 1CalculusOfficial strand · Strand C

Differential and integral calculus: rates of change, the derivative and its rules, applications of the derivative (curve sketching, optimization, related rates), and the definite integral and its applications.

Rates of change and the derivative

  • Average and instantaneous rate of changeC1 — Explore average rate of change as a secant slope and instantaneous rate of change as the limit giving the tangent slope.
  • The derivative from the definitionC2 — Determine the derivative of a function using the limit definition f'(x) = lim(h→0) [f(x+h) − f(x)]/h.

Derivative rules

  • Constant, power, sum, and difference rulesC3 — Differentiate using the Constant, Power, Constant Multiple, Sum, and Difference rules.
  • Product and quotient rulesC3 — Differentiate products and quotients of functions using the Product Rule and Quotient Rule.
  • Derivatives of trigonometric functionsC4 — Find the derivatives of the trigonometric functions.
  • The chain ruleC5 — Apply the chain rule to differentiate composite functions.
  • Inverse trigonometric functionsC6 — Solve problems involving the derivatives of inverse trigonometric functions.
  • Limits and derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functionsC7 — Find limits and derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions.

Applications of the derivative

  • Analyzing a function for curve sketchingC8 — Use the first and second derivatives to find critical points, intervals of increase/decrease, concavity, and inflection points.
  • Sketching the graph from the analysisC8 — Assemble a complete graph of a function by combining derivative analysis with intercepts and asymptotes.
  • Optimization problemsC9 — Solve optimization problems by writing a function, finding critical points, and testing for the maximum or minimum.
  • Applied optimization in contextC9 — Solve applied optimization problems in business and physical contexts requiring careful modelling.
  • Linearization and Newton's MethodC10 — Use linearization (the tangent-line approximation) and Newton's Method to solve problems.

The integral

  • The definite integralC12 — Determine the definite integral of a function as a signed area and evaluate it.
  • AntiderivativesC13 — Determine the antiderivative of a function by reversing the derivative rules, including the constant of integration.
  • Integration to find area and accumulationC14 — Apply the definite integral to find the area between curves and total accumulated change.
  • Integral applications in science, economics, and businessC14 — Apply the integral to problems from the physical and biological sciences, economics, and business.

Printable workbook · A keepsake of the year

A Calculus 120 workbook worth keeping

Built from the same official curriculum as this page. Before and after each skill above, your student colours in how sure they feel — so the two of you can see, on one page, what's clicking and what needs another look. It's a quiet way to follow how the year is really going.

By June it's full of their own handwriting: units worked through, confidence grown, a mid-year check-in, notes from parent-teacher night, and a certificate at the end. Less a worksheet, more a record of the year worth keeping on the shelf.
