Greetings!
We would like to announce that the Third Annual Georgia Association of AP Mathematics Teachers’ Calculus Competition will be held on Saturday, April 26! We will hold the competition in four locations simultaneously: Columbus High School, Rockdale Magnet School, Thomas County Central High School, and Tift County High School.
Registration is open at this link: https://forms.gle/3Pzdg1p8Bsn5NceA6.
When you register, you will be asked to choose one of the four locations for the competition. You are free to choose any of the four. There is an early-bird registration deadline of April 4. The early-bird fee is $25 for 1 team of four students or $45 for 2 teams (8 students). The late registration deadline is April 11 (with an additional $15 per team).
We will award the top 3 teams and top 5 individuals overall in the state, as well as the top 3 teams and top 5 individuals at each of the four sites (that were not overall winners).
Please share this with any calculus teacher or math team sponsor you know who may be interested, and please mark April 26 on your calendars! We hope you and your students will join us!

Bob Amar
Bob Amar is the Upper School Math Department Head at The Lovett School in Atlanta, GA. A math teacher since 2006, he has taught all levels of high school math, including AP Calculus and AP Statistics, and has been a reader for AP Statistics the past three years. Bob is the programmer of the web-based support software for Statistical Reasoning in Sports and Statistics and Probability with Applications, and from these foundations he and Josh Tabor created Stapplet. Originally designed to be a graphing calculator replacement for students who already have internet-connected devices, the collection has expanded to include activities and the ability to collaboratively collect data. Last school year, Stapplet had over 600,000 users and over 2.1 million sessions!
All sessions are located in Rooms 1 & 2 of the Gas Building on Friday.

Concluding Remarks
Article IV.
Officers and Board of Directors
Section 2. The Board of Directors shall consist of the six officers and up to six additional regional at-large representatives of the membership.
Article V.
Meetings
Section 1. GA2PMT shall meet at least once a year at a time and place selected by the Board of Directors. One meeting shall be at the annual GCTM Georgia Math Conference in October.
As many of you know, the Georgia Association of AP Math Teachers normally has a meeting during the Georgia Math Conference at Rock Eagle. Unfortunately this year, the GMC was virtual, which means our conference will also be virtual!
The conference will be on Saturday, November 14, from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. We plan to have a business meeting, and then two virtual breakout rooms: one for calculus and one for statistics. During the breakout sessions, we plan to address some of the scoring and problem types from the 2020 AP Exams, among other topics.
The conference is FREE. All you need to do is register by filling out this short Google form: https://forms.gle/3Rhq7Fzy237df2deA. We are asking you to register so we can email you a Zoom link—you must be registered to receive a Zoom link.
Since the conference is free, the Executive Board of GAAPMT voted to also make membership FREE as well! From October 2020 to October 2021, you or anyone else can join GAAPMT for free by simply filling out the member information here: https://forms.gle/YBgB8NY3hKBjwmJE7.
