Welcome to Frank H Peterson School of Technology,

With the start of the second semester comes new challenges. Students have to really begin focusing on FCAT. Teachers must use all time very wisely to make sure that every moment is a teachable one so the students can finish the second half of school strong.

AP Statistics is currently in chapter. This chapter is about discrete and continuous random variable and probabilities. This is quick chapter. The test for chapter will compared to the test scores from other school around Jacksonville. This will give me a good idea how well my students are prepared for the AP test on May 4.
AP Statistics is a very challenging course. Student success depends on parent involvement, student effort and teacher knowledge of AP courses. Reading the material BEFORE class is essential. It is my goal, as the teacher; to have at least half of my students pass the AP exam.

   Probability and Statistics is using a great book to learn from, "Statistics in Action." This book covers a variety of real world cases to learn what statistics is really about. We are currently in chapter 5 again. We are going to repeat the chapter because I do not feel like as a whole the students have grasped the concepts in this chapter. This chapter is about sampling distribution. Students will learn that there are many types of statistics we can gain and how to use them to find probabilities. This chapter is a prelude to probability.
    Student success in this course will depend on student effort and parent involvement. Students are expected to have read the sections being covered in class, BEFORE class starts. This will allow for class time to be used for problem analysis instead of lecture. My goal as a teacher is teach this course so each student can take a level one stats course in college and easily pass with a B or higher. 
    
    Honors Algebra II is in Module Five from Riverdeep. This module covers sequences and series. In this module students will be learning how to graph and recognize different types of sequences and series given specific information. The honors students begin preparing for pre-calculus at the end of the module by using Sigma notation and limits.
  Students will be graphing and solving equations throughout this module so the TI-83 or TI-84 calculator is very important. My goal as a teacher for this class is to make sure they are overly prepare to take pre-calculus next year with no problems.
