Students will create 2 reports for this project: The first is a situation where the probability can be calculated. Examples include: *What are the chances of guessing on a 4 question multiple choice test (with possible answers a, b ,c, and d) and getting 0 right? *If I pressed 20 piano keys what are the chances of 3 C#’s? The second is a situation where the probability is defined empirically and the student must lookup the value. Examples include: *What percentage of flights end in a plane cras
In this project students are asked to select a rectangular wall space in the school and make 3 design proposals using conic sections including parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola. There are different degrees of difficulty available for students to choose from and they are to incorporate aspects of the conic sections into the design. These include directix lines, foci, and asymptotes. The higher the degree of difficulty described then higher the scoring for the project. Students must show and descr
This project can be used as a Unit 1 project for either a regular or an AP Stats course. It should take (at least 2) periods to complete. This is at the discretion of the teacher. Basic Activity Outline:In this project students will begin with a worksheet. The sheet includes: *4 topics *4 (2x4 tables) Students are to fill in 2 data sets for each level of measurement (Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratio) Upon completion of the worksheet students will:*Form groups *Select Topics *Create a p
In this technology lab students will create calculators to solve problems involving linear functions. It is broken down into 4 parts. Part 1: Given coefficients A, B , and C of a linear function in standard form solve for the slope and x and y intercepts. Part 2: Given 2 points solve for the slope and the x and y intercepts. Part 3: Given 2 points and slope solve for A ,B, C. There is also a bonus/challenge question. For the teacher I will include a fully solved Excel file. Also I have a file of
These are 3 projects that have been downloaded and used over 100 times. They are for Pre/Calc and Algebra 2. With a 20% discount the final price will be $6.40. An excellent opportunity.
In this technology lab students will create calculators to solve problems involving quadratic functions. It is broken down into 4 parts. Part 1: Given coefficients a, b , and c of a quadratic function in standard form solve for discriminant, 2 roots, and coordinates of the vertex. Part 2: Given a,h, and k from an equation in vertex form transform the equation to standard form and solve for a,b, and c. Part 3: Given a vertex and another point solve for the a value in the vertex form Part 4: Give
