Winter Break is Here!

First and foremost, enjoy your break! Rest up, relax, enjoy some time with friends and family, and have some fun! But also, do some AP Statistics.

You have two responsibilities this break:

1.) Over Winter Break you must complete the "Teaching Yourself Chapter 13 (Experimental Design)" assignment

• Read through the chapter and answer the "reading questions" provided
• Remember, these are your notes!
• Feel free to record this info in your notebook!
• I do not plan to collect and grade these this year
• The more effort/detail you put into this the better your notes will be and the better prepared you'll be when we come back!
• The bold words serve as your vocab list--we will have a chapter 13 vocab quiz the Thursday after break.
• Then, use these notes and what you learned to answer the 25 multiple choice questions provided!
• These will be collected and graded the day you return as a quiz grade
• These are the types of MC questions we can see on the AP exam or on our midterm!
• If you need a copy of the winter break assignment you must email me  and I will send you the assignment. (carofano.fm@easthartford.org)

2.) Now is the time to start studying for your midterm! You need to email me over break and I will respond with a copy of the 2015 midterm exam for you to use to study!

• Email me @ carofano.fm@easthartford.org for the 2015 midterm exam--sending this email will be coutned as a homework grade! Do it as soon as you read this post!

• Midterm Exam Info:


• Free Response section (4 or 5 FR) = 60 minutes, 50% of your grade
• Multiple Choice (28 questions) = 60 minutes, 50% of your grade
• If you would like a copy of the 2015 midterm exam to study please send me an email and I will forward you a copy! I EXPECT ALL OF YOU TO EMAIL ME FOR THIS. (carofano.fm
• Chapters Covered:

3.) STAMPS are due the Thursday after break! Start counting now!

• Count your stamps!
• Write the total on the front! Double check!
• Your total must be correct! If I randomly select your name and double check your total and it's incorrect you will be given a 0 for your stamp grade.
• Get these all together--put them in a bag, an envelope, staple them--somehow get these all together
• If it's easier to rip a stamp off the corner of a paper than give the whole paper--do that! 

4.) If you are interested in taking an MCC class for credit please let me know ASAP!

• The course is MCC's "Math 138," or like our Math Modeling course
• This is a college algebra class--a lot of the stuff you learned in Algebra 2 and PreCalc 
• The course is taught by Ms. Beauchamp
• The class starts January 18th and ends May 10th
• Class is from 3:00-5:50 every Thursday
• You must provide your own transportation
• The class meets once a week so you must be highly responsible and do a substantial amount of work independently
• Grades will only be based on your quizzes and tests in class--your grade is only based on your ability/performance, not effort (it's a college class!)
• There are only 15 spots available
• Highly motivated students will be given first priority
• There is a permission slip! See me the day we're back!
• Or, email Joanna White (jwhite1@manchestercc.edu) if you have questions
