AP Statistics--Model Number Patterns & Trends that Answer "So Whats?" for their World


AP STATISTICS OVERVIEW

(Double click to enlarge)

Steps:
1. Students select a theme of interest (themes are first generated by the students themselves).
2. Students then are given a TEKS-aligned, AP-aligned Powerpoint with activity/lesson packet that models all aspects of this Stats category--both vertically and horizontally.
3. Students then "tweak" these models to customize both the math content and theme where relevant.
4. Students then prepare to teach what they've learned and are audio and videotaped (with all signed consents) by teachers and/or technologists.
5. Tape of "Professor Student" is loaded to this Blog site--so that students find their voice, find an audience, master AP concepts, and allow other students to do the same.
6. Other students, parents and teachers can comment about teaching and themes through the site. This in turn builds both further themes and strategies for learning AP stats meaningfully.
7. See also "Long-lasting" Performance Projects for TEA's GT-Aligned Project-Based Learning.
