4 Day Weekend!

1.) This weekend be sure to complete the "Unit 1 Take Home Exam!" packet provided in class (or sent via Remind).

  • This is a little forced studying--this packet reviews many of the fundamental concepts we need to understand/apply from unit 1, and is great practice for our upcoming unit test!
  • Use your notes and show work! Take the time to figure out questions your stuck on--use your resources! Don't just "wing it" on a question you're unsure about (that's not studying); if you're not sure, use your notes, book, AP Stat Guy, Khan, or any other resources to figure it out! That's studying!
  • The more effort you put into this the more prepared you'll be for our next test!
  • I may collect this and grade it, or I may simply post an answer key on the blog next week for you to use this to review; either way, it shouldn't matter--you should be putting in your best effort regardless!
2.) Do something fun this weekend! Do something relaxing this weekend! And go outside this weekend! Enjoy a little time to recharge your batteries!

3.) Future HW: Do it now! 
  • I'm not sure if I will assign this as "official" homework Tuesday, or if it will count as extra credit--but either way, if you do this assignment this weekend, your work won't go to waste.
  • Page 93: #19
  • Page 127: #35
  • Page 132 and 136: #8, 25cdef, 
  • Here is the answer for #8--ALWAYS CHECK YOUR ANSWERS ON THE BLOG OR IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK:
    • 8b.) 3.3%
    • 8c.) 6.7%
    • 8d.) pH = 4.40
    • 8e.) pH = 5.89
    • 8f.) Q1 = 4.5, Q3 = 5.30, IQR = 0.80

4.) Study more! Review your Mid Unit test that you got back; use your notes and other resources to figure out anything you got wrong! Also feel free to send some questions via Remind, and look at the sample written responses below!




Finally, here's the upcoming plan--I'm starting to think I want to move the Unit 1 Tests to Friday, 10/12 (vocab) and Monday 10/15 (AP MC and FR), but this isn't set in stone--I think we'll take a vote next week...
  • Weekend (10/5 to 10/8): Unit 1 Take Home Exam
    • This reviews (almost) all of the stuff you need to know for our next unit test!
    • Use your notes and ace this thing!
    • I may collect this and grade it as a test; or, I might provide an answer key (on the blog) and have you use it as a study guide--it shouldn't matter to you either way. You should be giving the same level of effort no matter what.
  • Tuesday (10/9): Chapter 6 Classwork
    • We'll work on some AP FR and AP MC in class (to be graded)
  • Wednesday (10/10): SAT Day (class for periods D, E only)
  • Thursday (10/11): Test Day #1!
    • Unit 1 Vocab Test
      • Matching vocab (based on previous quizzes)
      • Open Ended = Short Answer (also based on vocab)
      • An outline will be posted on the blog next week
    • More InvNorm stuff: finding IQR and what does the calculator actually do?
  • Friday (10/12): Test Day #2 OR Unit 1 Review
    • Depending on how we're doing with the content, this day will either be our Unit 1 exam...
    • Or, if we feel like we need one more day of practice/instruction, we'll do some of that on this day and take our Unit 1 test on Monday, 10/15. 
    • Feel free to share any thoughts on this to me!
