Candy Probability Project (distance learning)

This project uses simple probabilty and candy to reenforce this statistics topic. Students may use small packages of candy or may use a virtual candy box (which is in my store) to determine theoretical and experimental probability and to compare and constrast the two. Teachers then have the option to require students to create a presentation of the information. There are two different formats included: one in which students can write answers on the project sheets and one where students use their

Candy Probability Bundle: Lesson, Practice, Project (distance learning)

This bundle includes material which can cover the topics of simple and compound probability as well as theoretical and experimental probability. The PowerPoint includes vocabulary and step-by-step examples, the three worksheets cover simple, compound and mixed probability, the project covers theoretical and experimental probability as well as comparisons between the two, and the virtual candy box can be use, for in-person classes or distance learning, as a substitute for actual candy.
Preview of Interquartile Range Bundle (distance learning)

Interquartile Range Bundle (distance learning)

This bundle includes a PowerPoint presentation which has step by step instructions for finding interquartile range both with and without a graphing calculator. Additionally, the bundle includes a hand-out for students with step by step directions for finding the interquartile range, both with and without a graphing calculator. Finally, there is an activity sheet with problems for students to determine interequartile ranges and interpret box and whisker plots.

Standard Deviation and Interquartile Range Bundle (distance learning)

Finding standard deviation and interquartile range can be challenging for students. The presentations and the notes in this bundle break down the processes with step by step instructions. The bundle combines two powerpoints to explain how to find both standard deviation and IQR and two documents with students notes on finding both with and without a graphing calculator as well as student problems on both processes.

Analyzing Data (distance learning)

This bundle combines a powerpoint presentation and a student activity. Both products look at scatter plots, trend lines, equations of lines of best fit, correlation coefficients, residuals, and predictions. In the powerpoint, there is an example which can be reviewed by the teacher followed by an examples students can work on. Embedded in the presentation are instructions for using the STAT function on a graphing calculator to determine the equation of line of best fit and the correlation coeffi
Preview of Valentine Probability Bundle (distance learning)

Valentine Probability Bundle (distance learning)

This bundle includes two resources. The first is a PowerPoint on probability which covers vocabulary and simple and compound probability. The second is a packet of three worksheets which cover the same topics; the worksheets all contain unique problems and answer keys are included.
Preview of Standard Deviation - PowerPoint and Student Resource (distance learning)

Standard Deviation - PowerPoint and Student Resource (distance learning)

In this bundle are included a PowerPoint which explains how to determine standard deviation without and with a graphing calculator. Students are led through examples with step by step directions for both cases. Additionally, the bundle includes student notes on finding standard deviation (with and without a graphing calculator) and a student exercise which mirrors the examples found in the PowerPoint.
Preview of Standard Deviation - Student Notes and Exercise (distance learning)

Standard Deviation - Student Notes and Exercise (distance learning)

In this packet, there are notes for students about finding standard deviation - both with and without using a graphing calculator. There is also a student exercise in which students find standard deviation with and without a calculator. Additionally, students are asked to create and analyze a histogram of the data.

Candy Probability Project and Virtual Candy Box Bundle

This bundle includes the Candy Probability Project which covers theoretical and experimental probability and comparisons between the two. This project can be done individually or in small groups, in person or via distance learning. Also included in the bundle is the virtual candy box PowerPoint which can be used in lieu of actual candy for the project.
Preview of Candy Probability Student Worksheets (distance learning)

Candy Probability Student Worksheets (distance learning)

This packet contains three student worksheets and accompanying answer sheets. The worksheets cover simple probablity, compound probability, and mixed probabililty. All problems are unique; that is, the mixed probability problems are different than the simple and compound probability problems. While the worksheets have a candy theme, they can be used at any time as well as near Valentine's Day.

Interquartile Range - Student Notes and Problems (distance learning)

This packet comes with notes for students with step by step instructions on how to find interquartile range with and without a graphing calculator as well as determining if a data set contains outliers. Additionally, the packet contains problems for students to complete on interquartile range and box and whisker plots.

Interquartile Range - A PowerPoint Presentation (distance learning)

In this presentation, there are two examples on finding interquartile range with step by step instructions for students. Additionally, there is an examination of box and whisker plots as well as instructions for using a graphing calculator to find interquartile range.
Preview of A Presentation on Standard Deviation (distance learning)

A Presentation on Standard Deviation (distance learning)

In this PowerPoint presentation, students are shown, step by step, how to determine the standard deviation for a set of data. Additionally, the data is then presented graphically in a histogram so students can visually see what "within one standard deviation" means. Finally, students again are led, step by step, through to determining standard deviation using a graphing calculator.

Analyzing Data

This powerpoint helps students understand the relationship between scatter plots, trend lines, lines of best fit and their equations, correlation coefficients, and residuals. Additionally, the powerpoint looks at using the equations of the lines of best fit to make predictions. There are two examples included in the presentation - one may used as an example and one may be used as a teacher-led exercise for students. Additionally, there are instructions for how to use the STAT function on a graph

Trip around the World - Investigate & Represent Data (distance learning)

In this project, students research the traits and resources of a country, create a presentation of graphs, determine a possible problem, and propose a solution. There are two versions included - one for a physical classroom and one adapted for distance learning. The project can also easily be made cross-curricular with ELA, Social Studies/History, and or Foreign Language. Students choose from a variety of graphs from circle graphs to scatter plots to histograms.

Experience

I have taught middle school and high school for 21 years including a variety of math levels, chemistry, and physics in both private and public schools in the US.

Teaching style

Working together, students, parents,and teachers can all have successful learning experiences. Teaching is a team sport in which all of the players work toward the common goal of enriching students' lives.

My own education history

I received my BA from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, TX, with a major in chemistry and a minor in math. My student teaching was in the San Antonio public school system. Subsequently, I received my MA from the University of Texas at Austin in the same areas.

Additional biographical information

I am the mother of four and currently live in North Carolina.
