Course Description
This course introduces students to the major concepts and tools for exploring data, planning a study, analyzing patterns, and drawing conclusions from data. The course will rely heavily on graphing-calculator-based processes and the analysis of data produced by graphing calculators and computer software packages. The Advanced Placement Statistics exam is expected of all students in this course. More information can be found on the College Board website.
Statistics students will engage in mathematical practices such as making sense of problems, reasoning and constructing arguments and using structure and regularity. They will use functions and geometry to create and critique mathematical models and solve contextual problems. They will use mathematical tools including graphing calculators and computer software.
Calculators for Math Students will need a Texas Instruments TI-84 or TI-83 calculator for all math courses at LHS. Our school recommends purchasing such a calculator which can be used for all 4 years of high school. Access for everyone is our priority, so we also make long-term loans of calculators to any student who needs one. A student can borrow a calculator by seeing Miss Butterfly in office 711, weekdays 7:45-11:30 a.m. beginning August 30, 2023. (There is no longer a Google Form to complete as in the past.)
