Materials and resources from Kristeen Riddle's presentation

I plan to present a combination of several items, time permitting. The main thing I want to share is the midterm Lab that my STAT students have been working on, using MS Word, Excel, Minitab, the Internet, and MS PowerPoint. I have attached a rationale for the lab below. I also plan to present a percent discount project that my Algebra I students did in the fall using the Internet and MS Word, and have attached the project sheet. I can create my own handouts for everything. If time permits I plan to share two projects that my informal geometry worked on last year on volume using Gloster and Photostory. On a daily basis I use my whiteboard with my guided notes and occasionally use video clips from Discovery Ed to enhance my daily lessons. Stat: The Stat midterm consists of a project that encompasses a major portion of what was taught the first half of the year. The lab will show what students know about finding probabilities, how to represent data, how to read data, and why certain data turns out the way that it does. Students will use terms and concepts discussed during the year to analyze and present their findings. Students will work in groups to find the probabilities of each color in a bag of medium plain and peanut M&M’s. They will then compare group data to the class data and each of those data sets to what Mars Company claims should be in a bag of M&M’s plain and peanut. Students will analyze their data through statistical graphs and will present their results in writing as well as an oral presentation using the **POLYVISION Whiteboard** and various software including MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Minitab, and the Internet.
