Friday, Sept. 19

Sooooo....today in class we finished up our first exam and began a graphing calculator exploration, looking into the effects of transformations on a set of data. This will serve as the basis for our class discussion on Monday.

Your homework for the weekend: finish the graphing calculator investigation, as well as your 2 AP Problems (PART OF YOUR TEST GRADE!!!!!!). Remember, we already did the "Flexibility Rating" problem, so don't do it again! Also, your homework Monday night will be to read chapter 6. It's a longer/tougher chapter, so I definitely recommend getting a head start if you have the time. Of course we'll have a reading quiz, and it'll be open notes if you choose to take them. I would.

Last order of business--if you're ever reading an article online or in a newspaper/magazine/whatever, and it has to do with Stats, bring it in! Or, if you see some data that's particularly interesting to you, bring it in! If it fits with what we're doing in class, I'll definitely use it as the basis for our practice problems/outline, which will make our class more relevant to current issues and hopefully even more interesting! It helps me out too!
