The AP* Statistics workshop covers the AP* Statistics curriculum as outlined in the blue AP* Stat manual given to all participants. The workshop is intended to serve both the beginning and the experienced AP* Stat teacher. Each participant will receive, along with the AP* College Board* blue manual, a 135-page booklet of ready-to-reproduce lessons and activities (and their answer keys) all written by the presenter. A large portion of time is devoted to going over these lessons, from the theory underlying the ideas to their implementation.
Participants who bring their TI-83, TI-83 Plus or TI-84 graphing calculators will receive ten calculator programs, also written by the presenter, that illustrate important statistical concepts. The aim of these programs--when used by the students themselves--is to make learning statistics a more active and engaging experience. The programs are written especially to scaffold the more difficult ideas for both struggling students and for teachers new to statistics.
