AP Statistics Skewed vs Symmetric vs Bimodal use with Schoology

Created by
Brian Garber
25 scenario-based multiple choice questions that challenge students to distinguish among the shapes of distributions: skewed right (tail extends to the right, mean > median), skewed left (tail extends to the left, mean < median), symmetric (mirror image around center, mean ≈ median), and bimodal (two distinct peaks). Each scenario presents a real-world data context requiring students to identify or predict the distribution shape. Ideal for AP Statistics and introductory statistics courses

AP Statistics Residual vs Outlier vs Influential Point use with Schoology

Created by
Brian Garber
25 scenario-based multiple choice questions that challenge students to distinguish among residuals (the vertical distance between an observed data point and the regression line), outliers (data points that fall far from the overall pattern in the y-direction), and influential points (data points whose removal would substantially change the regression line slope, intercept, or correlation). Each scenario requires students to identify the correct concept or apply it to a regression context. Ideal

AP Statistics Margin of Error vs Standard Error vs SD use with Schoology

Created by
Brian Garber
25 scenario-based multiple choice questions that challenge students to distinguish among standard deviation (a measure of spread in a dataset or population), standard error (the standard deviation of a sampling distribution — how much a sample statistic varies from sample to sample), and margin of error (the half-width of a confidence interval, equal to the critical value times the standard error).

AP Statistics Z-Score vs T-Score vs Percentile use with Schoology

Created by
Brian Garber
25 scenario-based multiple choice questions that challenge students to distinguish among z-scores (standardized scores measuring how many standard deviations a value is from the mean), t-scores (standardized scores used when the population standard deviation is unknown and replaced by the sample standard deviation), and percentiles (values below which a given percentage of observations fall).

AP Statistics Statistical vs Practical Significance use with Schoology

Created by
Brian Garber
25 scenario-based multiple choice questions that challenge students to distinguish between statistical significance (a mathematical determination that an observed result is unlikely due to chance, based on p-value and alpha) and practical significance (whether the size of the effect is large enough to matter in real-world contexts). Each scenario requires students to evaluate whether a result is statistically significant, practically significant, both, or neither. Ideal for AP Statistics and res

AP Statistics Random vs Stratified vs Cluster vs Systematic use with Schoology

Created by
Brian Garber
25 scenario-based multiple choice questions that challenge students to distinguish among four major probability sampling methods: simple random sampling (every individual has an equal chance of selection), stratified sampling (population divided into groups, random samples from each), cluster sampling (population divided into groups, entire groups randomly selected), and systematic sampling (every kth individual selected after a random start). Each scenario requires students to identify the corr

Created by
Brian Garber
25 scenario-based multiple choice questions that challenge students to distinguish between resistant measures (statistical summaries that are not strongly affected by outliers or extreme values — median, IQR, Q1, Q3) and non-resistant measures (summaries that are sensitive to extreme values — mean, standard deviation, range). Each scenario requires students to identify which measure is appropriate given the data context. Ideal for AP Statistics and introductory statistics courses. Use as a bell

AP Statistics One Tailed vs Two Tailed Test use with Schoology

Created by
Brian Garber
25 scenario-based multiple choice questions that challenge students to distinguish between one-tailed hypothesis tests (where the alternative hypothesis specifies a direction: greater than or less than) and two-tailed hypothesis tests (where the alternative hypothesis detects any difference in either direction: not equal to). Each scenario requires students to identify the appropriate test type and understand its implications for p-value calculation and critical regions. Ideal for AP Statistics

Experience

I currently teach AP Psychology, and CP Psychology (11th and 12th grades) at Enochs High School in Modesto CA, and have been doing so since 2009. I have been teaching since 1993. Over the course of that time I have taught Math/Science Core at a middle school, World History to 7th and 10th graders, American History to 8th graders, Teen Issues, and math lab. After 15 years at Hanshaw Middle School in Modesto CA, I made the move to Enochs High School. I am currently (1/31/25) the ONLY full time Psychology teacher in my district!! That makes me more rare than librarians....

Teaching style

Mostly direct instruction, with tons of demos, activities and labs. My attitude is that I want my kids DOING Psychology as much as possible, whether in the lab or in the "real world."

Awards & shining teacher moments

Can't say I have ever been honored but I was featured in a district newsletter for my work with resource students. I get good reports from my colleagues whose kids have taken my class. I have had people tell me for years that my curriculum was great and that I should sell it...well, here it is...I think that the quality of the materials speaks for itself.

My own education history

BA Psychology California State University Stanislaus 90' Multiple subject clear credential Chapman University Single subject clear credential (Social Science) Chapman University

Additional biographical information

I am always on the lookout for a new lab or activity idea. Since I teach psychology full time that is naturally where I allocate the most effort. While my materials are mostly Psychology related, you will also find World History, Statistics, General Mathematics and Art mixed in.
