Thursday (Almost There!)

**If you were out yesterday or today you must make up your math and/or vocab test tomorrow during school (I am leaving right at 2:10)!**

There is no homework tonight! But there is work over break....

1.) Start reviewing for midterms over break!

• This exam is going to be tough (just like the AP exam)! If you want to do well (and you better want to do well!) you HAVE to prepare!
• Our midterm is a practice AP exam! ALL questions will be selected from past AP exams, and this will be an authentic opportunity to gauge how we might do in May!
• 60 minutes = 5 AP Free Response
• 60 minutes = 27-30 AP Multiple Choice
• How can I start studying for the midterm exam?
• We will have review stamps in class, but we will not dedicate any full class periods to review--it's your job to study as an AP student!
• Complete the review multiple choice practice test (sent via Remind, or you can email me for a copy)
• Create an outline of your notes--read through your notes, and as you do so, type up an outline!
• This will force you to review all concepts/vocab, and creating the outline will challenge you to determine what information is most important!
• Look over each of your past tests/quizzes for examples
• Do lots of practice problems!
• BEST OPTIONS TO REVIEW:
• 1.) Complete AP free response and use the rubrics to check your answers/score your responses!
• You can find EVERY released AP FR online, linked on the right...
• ..or just click me!
• 2.) Review by topic using the Khan Academy AP Stat course

2.) Winter Break Assignment = Teaching Yourself Ch. 13 (Experimental Design)

• You must email me for a copy of the assignment if you need it (too large to post as images on the blog)--carofano.fm@easthartford.org
• Here's your task...
1. Read chapter 13 and complete the "reading questions" provided--these may be collected and graded for (thorough) completion (classwork grade)
• Your responses to these questions serve as your notes for experimental design!
• The bold words are our vocab for this chapter
• The more thoroughly you complete these questions and the more effort you put into this, the more prepared you'll be! This stuff will be on our midterm!
• You can record all answers on the paper provided, or you can put this all in your notes
• Extra Credit Stamp Opportunity: on separate paper write down any questions you have about the content you read! You must write a complete sentence/question. For example...
• "What does it mean if we use blocking in an experiment?"
• NOT..."blocking..." (that's not a question)
• We WILL NOT review all of chapter 13 in class, but your questions will help me to determine exactly what content we should go over in our limited time before exams....
2. Complete the 19 multiple choice questions based on your reading/notes--this will be collected and graded as a quiz the day we return

Here's the plan leading up to midterms: I made some changes to my original plan (after period A on Thursday), so we'll be doing something a little weird--move on to next unit, then back to probability, then back to new unit....

• Wednesday (12/19): Chapter 14-16 Probability Test
• Thursday (12/20): Chapter 14-16 Vocab Test
• Friday (12/21): Intro to Next Unit --> Outlining the Statistical Process
• Wednesday (1/2) to Friday (1/4): Notes on experimental design (take home quiz over weekend)
• Monday (1/7): chapter 13 (experimental design) wrap up 
• Tuesday (1/8) to Friday (1/11): Back to probability--chapter 17 notes (binomial v. geometric probability)
