I created a series of activities for several units in the AP Statistics curriculum. The students love using data from fbi.gov to review concepts. This activity involves analyzing data related to the top 10 most wanted fugitives. I created this activity in May of 2020 and used the top 10 at that time. In the folder, you will find an editable slide of the top 10 if you want to change it. The answer key for the unit is based on the original top 10 that I used. Teachers have the option of having st

This lesson is about how to choose which measure of center is best - Mean, Median, or Mode. I use this lesson in my Introduction to Statistics high school course. The guided lesson shows examples with skewed data and without. There is a practice (homework) assignment with 6 questions. An answer key to the entire lesson is provided as well.

This assignment has students working on completing and reading two way tables and Venn diagrams in order to find probabilities. I have used this as a graded assignment and most recently gave it as partner assessment in Google Meet breakout rooms. There are two multi-part questions involving two-way tables and one with Venn diagrams.

This lesson provides notes as well as a note taking guide and exercise for students. There is also a class activity meant to get students thinking about how we graph different types of data. Students usually have no trouble with the categorical data, but sometimes get stumped as to how to graph the numerical data. With a little motivation, they can usually come up with a dot plot or stem and leaf plot if they are familiar with that type of graph. This is a fun activity for students as they are g

These files provide students with a review of the Normal Distribution, 68-95-99.7 rule, z scores, finding area under normal curves and finding values when the area is known. The first two handouts are summaries of the topics with examples and notes. There are two practice worksheets for students and answer keys. All worksheets have a magical theme of wizards and unicorns just for fun!

This is a worksheet created for students to practice identifying exponential growth and decay functions, writing and solving models and graphing exponential growth functions. It has a Halloween theme and is perfect to give around the holiday. I usually use this as a sub plan if necessary in October.

Over the summer, I give my students an assignment based on the first chapter and section 2.1 of chapter 2 in The Practice of Statistics. This activity is a great way to start the year even if your students have not done summer work. The activity has the class collect data and then work through various ways to graph and analyze the data. They use a statistical applet as well as the graphing calculator. Included is the entire activity. An answer key is not applicable as the answers will depend on

This is a study guide that I give to students at the start of the unit. They are required to complete it and turn it in on the day of the unit test. At the end of the year, they have one for each unit which serves as a great study resource! Feedback from students has also indicated that these are good preparation for their unit assessments.
