Course Expectations:

• Probability and Statistics (Prob/Stats) is a project-centered class. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of the content by exploring topics, collecting data, and presenting their findings in a statistical manner. The course emphasizes on using probability and statistics for decision-making in the context of everyday problems and presents strategies for analysis and interpretation of data. Students are expected to do work outside of class and check google classroom at least once a week.

How to Check Student Progress:

• Infinite Campus (IC) is updated at least once a week. If you child has missing assignments please encourage them to see me immediately to make up the work. Specific HW assignments are posted on google classroom.

About Me:

This is my 8th year teaching at Roosevelt and 7th year teaching Probability and Statistics. I love teaching students about the practical and real-life applications of math. As a football fan we often will discuss how data shapes the decisions of sports teams so students can understand the not so obvious ways math influences sports. As a video game fan I incorporate examples where we evaluate fairness of gatcha games.
