Summer Assignment

There will be no formal AP Statistics summer assignment. However, you are expected to do the following:

1. Stay up to date on the blog! I will periodically post information over the summer so be sure to check in.

2. Be ready for day one! We'll get to work as soon as the school year begins, so be ready for homework and AP Stats as soon as you walk into this room! Take this summer to rejuvenate!

3. Explore the blog! Check out what resources this has to offer, maybe even get yourself ahead with some early studying. We'll have a quiz within the first few days of school.

4. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GRAPHING CALCULATOR! And further, make sure you know how to use it!

Feel free to email me if you'd like to get ahead and need some direction as to what you should practice/research!

I hope you all enjoy your summer and I look forward to next year! Email me any time with questions! (fred.carofano@gmail.com)

Check out some projects!

New students next year...

My class just finished up with their final presentations; I've included a link to a few of these for you to check out! Take a look at the data, what was done, etc.--this is what we'll be working toward all year! (There is also a chance I base the summer project off of these)...

Summer project will be up Monday/Tuesday, so check back!

2011 - 2012 Summer Assignment

Hello all! I can't believe it's already time to start thinking about next year! I plan on getting a summer assignment posted up here by next Monday, June 21st--be sure to check back sometime after Monday to find out your summer responsibilities.

For now, it'd be a good idea to familiarize yourself with this blog--its layout, and its contents. Scope out what it has to offer; next year it should be one of your primary tools for AP Stat.

Letter to Next Year's Students

DUE FRIDAY!

Please write a ONE PAGE DOUBLE SPACED letter to next year's AP Statistics students--a sort of "survival guide" for success in the course. This will be read by both myself and next year's students, so be sure to keep it APPROPRIATE. Any letter deemed inappropriate will be given a 0.

Content wise, you can really pick and choose. Consider ways to study, difficult topics. tips for the AP exam, comments on the course/content/teacher--whatever you think a student will need to know to do well in this course.

This will be collected on Friday and should be typed.
