Statistics and Probability
Statistics and Probability encourages students to play around with numbers and data and make discoveries about their world. Whether figuring out how likely something will happen or analyzing information to learn what has happened, students will find new ways to apply math to everyday life.

This class takes an innovative approach to modern math exploring the way numbers show up in real life and the different ways we can learn from them while teaching introductory concepts in Statistics and Probability that students will use for more advanced math classes in the future.
 
Exploring topics like weather and the economy; sports and entertainment; population and current events and so much more, students will build an understanding of how numbers and math can tell a story about our world. Student interest will help determine additional topics that we will use to cover core middle school math standards as we work together to design problems and find solutions.
 
This class has no required homework. Students will always be encouraged to research topics on their own and share their discoveries with each other. Throughout the year we will work together on in-class worksheet activities to reinforce key concepts and confirm student learning. 
 
No additional materials are required, although calculators and notebooks will be quite useful. 
 
All classes are full-year classes. Students enrolled in a Fall Semester class will automatically enroll for the Spring Semester in December to ensure their place in the class. Pricing is per semester.
