Weekend = Study and Get Ahead!

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed your day off (with no sub)!

If you had planned to make up your test today I apologize for being out--you'll have to make up your unit test Monday or Tuesday. I will be after school Monday, or you can do it during any free period Monday/Tuesday. 

There is no homework that will be checked Monday. However, two future homework assignments are posted below if you'd like to get a head start!

And start opening those Barron's books and working through some practice exams!

On Monday we'll get back to our more "traditional" classroom vibe and start taking notes on our last topic, chi-squared tests! (We'll also have a chi-squared quiz next Friday, so come ready for 5 days of hard work).

Remember, the key to maximizing your potential (and success) on the AP exam is your preparation. And the best way to prepare is practice exams! Get something done this weekend (please)!

Monday Night HW = Prep For Tuesday's Quiz!

• On Monday we'll start some new stuff (Chi-squared), but we will start class with a quiz on t-tests and t-intervals for slope on Tuesday
• Monday night's homework:
• First, complete the assignment listed below (this is practice for our quiz)
• More T Test and T Interval for Slope Practice (Click Me!)
• Then, grade it! 
• HW Answer Key (Click me!)

Last HW of the Year = Double HW Grade!

• This homework assignment will be our last homework grade; I'm not sure when I'll assign it, but it will probably be after this upcoming week. Feel free to get it done now! (It'll most likely be assigned Monday, May 6th and will be due sometime during that week)

• First, complete the "2016 Investigative Task". (= 1 HW Grade)
• 2016 Investigative Task (Click Me!)
• If you work efficiently in class you may have time to start this (in class)!
• Write your answers thoroughly, as you would on the AP exam!
• Remember, some of this stuff will be different/new to you--and some will be based on things we learned in class!
• Time yourself! This should take a maximum of 25 minutes to complete.

• Then, SCORE YOUR FR  (= Another HW Grade). READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

• Link to 2016 Scoring Rubric! Click Me! Scroll to Question #6!

• This question is scored in 3 sections:
• Section 1 = parts a and b
• Section 2 = parts c and d
• Section 3 = part e
• HW Scoring Instructions: You must follow these instructions exactly for scoring homework credit:
1. Write down the 5 bullets that describe the criteria for "Essentially Correct" for section 1. This should be written next to parts a, b and titled "Section 1: E."
1. Check the bullets that you did satisfy
2. Circle any bullets that you did not satisfy
3. Determine your score (E, P, I) and write down this score.
4. Be sure to read the "Notes" in the rubric!
2. Write down the 5 bullets that describe the criteria for "Essentially Correct" for section 2. This should be written next to parts c, d and titled "Section 2: E."
1. Check the bullets that you did satisfy
2. Circle any bullets that you did not satisfy
3. Determine your score (E, P, I) and write down this score.
4. Be sure to read the "Notes" in the rubric!
3. Write down the sentence describing what you need to score "Essentially Correct." Then write down the two statements that would lead to "Partially correct." This should be written next to your answer to part e; label which sentence is "E" and which is "P."
1. Determine your score. (E, P, I)
4. Give yourself an overall score of 1-4. Write this next to your name. 

Have an awesome weekend!
