LESSON PLANS:
Most assignments will ALWAYS be better in class. On the occasions when school is closed, I will post alternative forms of each experiment.

BASIC INFO:
The AP Statistic course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. There are four themes evident in the content, skills, and assessment in the AP Stats course: exploring data, sampling and experimenting, probability and simulation, and statistical inferences. Students use technology, investigations, problem solving, and writing as they build conceptual understanding.
SUPPLIES: 3 ring binder and two different colored writing utensil. An account with apcentral.collegeboard.org is also needed.
Although not necessary, there is an AP test prep book that has been highly recommended to me by other teachers. Click this LinkLinks to an external site. to be taken to this study guide.
GRADING POLICY: Daily Grades(35%): homework, notes, in-class assignments, and quizzes. Major Grades (65%): tests, projects, polished drafts
TEXTBOOK: The Practice of Statistics 6th edition by Starnes and Tabor.
We will utilize https://www.statsmedic.com and https://www.collegeboard.org/ Links to an external site.
