(Academic) Grades: 11-12  1 credit  Year Course 

Prerequisite: Algebra II or Advanced Algebra II and approval of Mathematics Department  

This course is equivalent to the one semester non-calculus based statistics course offered by most colleges. A college statistics course is required for many majors such as psychology, sociology, the health sciences, business, political science, and economics. Topics for this course are divided into four major themes: exploratory analysis, planning a study, probability, and statistical inference. Students will become fluent users of technology and will use computers and their calculators to develop their understanding of statistical ideas. Students will learn to interpret data and to communicate clearly and effectively. Students must have a TI-83+ or TI-84 calculator to use every day in class and for assignments; other models of calculator such as TI-82, TI-85, TI-89, etc. are not acceptable. Students will be required to take the AP Statistics examination or meet the instructor's exemption requirements.

Understanding and making meaning of data is essential to making sense of the world. Figuring out, then, how to interpret and communicate that data in ways that are effective and intentional, in ways that make an argument and can affect change, is the next step. In this course, students will learn a variety of creative ways to understand, represent, and talk about data; they will learn about ways that data can be interpreted– and misinterpreted. They will learn to use data as a tool of communication in concert with writing, presentations, podcasts– they will discover ways to use data and language to build arguments, tell meaningful stories, persuade, and understand how to communicate effectively to make an impact. For example, students might write an opinion article that uses data to shape their perspective; they might write a braided essay combining data, literature, and personal experience; they might present a narrative as a podcast that is based on data and fact, aiming to name a problem and possible solutions. Through a variety of case studies, students will explore questions of interest and find ways to think about the purpose and audience in their sharing of their work.

As we attempt to seek truth and make sense of our experience in today's world, we are constantly besieged by startling facts. Politicians, activists, journalists, and entertainers attempt to drive and shape society with clever and subtle arguments, all relying on a common tool: statistics. Statistics: Lies and Power will examine statements and claims made in popular media to prepare students to identify misuse of statistics and develop a familiarity with the tools of statistics to communicate valid information effectively. The course is intended to provide interesting insights into today's world while demystifying statistics used in mass communication. By utilizing data from mass media sources or by collecting data with their own surveys and experiments, students will have opportunities to form and critically discuss ideas using data and statistics.

A-P-L Lab (Academics, Planning/Prioritizing, Learning) is an individually tailored, Pass/Fail elective that provides students with learning and work support.  Students identify aspects of their learning, coursework and/or work habits that they would like to improve. A math teacher and learning specialist facilitate A-P-L Lab, conferring with students individually each week to help them progress towards their academic and learning goals. The math teacher is available to clarify math concepts, answer students’ questions while working on homework and help students prepare for math assessments. The Learning Specialist assists students with planning and revising written work, practicing brain-based learning strategies and time-management. Students use class-time to review course material and make progress on homework. As needed, they may also use class-time to consult with their teachers about course content and assignments. A-P-L Lab is open to students in 9th - 12th grade, with approval from their math teacher or advisor, and it can be taken multiple times.

Geometry aims to formalize and extend the geometry that students have learned in previous courses. It does this by focusing on establishing triangle congruence criteria using rigid motions and formal constructions, building a formal understanding of similarity based on dilations and proportional reasoning, developing the concepts of formal proof, exploring the properties of two- and three-dimensional objects, working within the rectangular coordinate system to verify geometric relationships, proving basic theorems about circles, and using the language of set theory to compute and interpret probabilities for compute events.On a daily basis, students in Geometry pose questions, investigate, analyze critically, gather and construct evidence, and communicate rigorous arguments justifying their thinking. Students learn in collaboration with others, sharing information, expertise, and ideas.
