New Uploads

I just uploaded the chapter 6 MC quiz (due Thursday) and the chapter 7 powerpoint (which we'll likely start Friday).

This way, you've got your quiz if you misplace it or want another copy, and can get ahead a bit if you look at the powerpoint. Enjoy!

Tuesday HW (Due Thurs)

Don't forget: PSAT seminar tomorrow! We'll address your questions (from today's stamp problem), work on some Unit 1 review, and maybe even work on our take home quiz.

Don't forget: chapter 6 take home quiz is DUE THURSDAY.

I'll be here after school Wednesday for any questions or to work on your Chapter 6 quiz.

We will also have a test review this Thursday.

The votes have been tallied: TEST MONDAY!

Tuesday Warm Up: What do you want to know?

To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

Type 1:

What is (at least one) question that arose as you worked through the SAT investigation?

What are at least two additional questions you have about standardized values, shifting, rescaling, or any topics we've discussed thus far in AP Stat.

I will respond to all of these questions during our PSAT review session, so think: the more you want to know, the more prepared you'll be for our test!

I wish I had a 4 day weekend...but 3's alright too.

Hope you're all feeling confident today after the Vocab Test.

Alright, here comes the homework assault for this weekend--but it really shouldn't be that much, because if you used your class time productively you really should be done with the entire SAT packet, and only have the Type 2 and MC to worry about this weekend. If you didn't....well, that's your problem I suppose.

The following items are DUE TUESDAY. NO EXCEPTIONS:

1. SAT PROJECT: Complete the packet (20 questions), neatly, and in complete sentences. I've attached this document under our assignments link if you need another copy or prefer to type responses


2. SAT TYPE 2: Simply reflect on what you've learned about your college application process and your chances to get in (based solely on SAT's). I've provided some questions for you to consider; in grading this I'm just looking for thoughtful comments. I don't want you to simply regurgetate all the information you answered in the question; synthesize this, put it together. Don't go crazy, and definitely don't write more than one page. I'd expect at least 6 thoughtful comments if you want to get a 10/10.


3. 16 MC QUESTIONS: As we prepare for our Unit 1 test, please complete the 16 MC provided in class. This will be counted as a homework grade, and we'll go over the answers Tuesday. You must show some work to get credit for the HW, as I'm aware you could just write random letters (if there's no work).

**You should also review the answers to 3,4,14,15 that I provided in class as a means of studying, though this is not an official assignment.**'

So the way I see it, you spend a MAX of 1 hour on your SAT project (unless you wasted class time), and probably about 30 minutes on your MC. So if we divide that up by 4 days, that's about 23 minutes of homework a day. And I don't feel bad about that.

Enjoy your four days, rest, relax, have fun, and enjoy the beautiful weather! I'll look forward to seeing you Tuesday!

VOCAB TEST TOMORROW!

Study! This is our first official test grade in AP Stat (until next week); start off on the right foot and study this vocab!

Make sure you can also sketch shapes of distributions and name types of graphs for categorical/quantitative data.

I've uploaded your SAT lab under our Assignments link; remember, this (including the type 2) is due Tuesday.

Also for Tuesday, complete the worksheet (3,4,14,15) we looked at in class.

Good luck!

Tuesday HW Revised! Read below!

Tonight, please complete the Chapter 6 practice quiz; 3,4, 14c and 15a.

Also, I was sent a great stats link: http://www.apstatsguy.com/. Check it out for some additional resources!

Tomorrow it'll be back to the SAT lab which will be DUE THURSDAY. Remember, Thursday you have your vocab quiz.

You will be given a multiple choice take home quiz on Thursday to be collected after your 4 day weekend..then it's test time for unit 1! Woop woop!

Monday HW

Back to business, though for you it's a short 4-day week (and we have next Monday off!)

Tonight, please complete Page 125: 25, 27, 31, 41,44

Tomorrow we'll start with our SAT investigation, so if you have not done so yet, please find the average SAT scores for 3 schools. You will need this as the basis of your work; I've not yet decided on a due date for this project (this will be your largest AP Problem/Project grade thus far), but I'm thinking Monday so that people can come to our review after school Thursday with questions. We'll worry about that in a couple days.

For now, please complete the assignment above as we push toward the close of chapter 6--and you know what that means! Test!

VOCAB TEST THURSDAY!
