I can’t tell you how much I love Stapplet for collaborative data collection. What’s your perfect banana number? Describe the banana preference distribution. Thanks for hosting Rice University! These Stats teachers are amazing! RiceCCR #apstats

Look who did their normal model homework! Hardworking, future AP Stats teachers, that’s who. Rice University RiceCCR #apstats #lastAPSIofsummer

Here is my last virtual APSI group of the summer! We did a quick regression activity with books (pages vs thickness) and Stapplet…and then worked with discrete probability models. Rice University RiceCCR #apstats

A scientist showed her students words and names like “biologist,” “Julie,” “Richard,” and “chemist.” How easily did they associate female names with science words? Watch them try:

1st day of professional development for math teachers at Bellaire! Lots of “deep diving” going on at our Houston ISD district training! Bellaire High School #mathdepartment #firstpdday

I presented job-a-like PD in Houston ISD today. New AP Precal T’s are exploring “change in tandem” using vases of different shapes and cups of rice. Can you predict the graph relating volume and height? What about concavity? Bellaire High School Reena Chopra Sandra Wallace #apprecal

First Session: Instructional Characteristics…what to do and what not to do! Reinforcing so many of the practices that we already do in our classrooms Bellaire High School. We are ready! #cardinalproud Houston ISD

Session 2: Coaching and Feedback…Denzel Washington. No other description necessary! Bellaire High School Houston ISD #cardinalproud

Session 3: Multiple Response Strategies…Lots of techniques to check for understanding and to gauge student learning! I’m looking forward to trying something new. Bellaire High School Houston ISD #cardinalproud

Session 4: Annotations and SRCs…I found out that annotations in text based math questions must be modeled. I must become more deliberate about connecting words with choosing the correct solution strategy. Bellaire High School Houston ISD #cardinalproud

We’re baaaaaack! Second day at NRG and Bellaire faculty is ready to learn! Bellaire High School Houston ISD #cardinalproud

First official math department meeting of the year! I work with the best math teachers who support our students AND each other! Bellaire High School #cardinalproud

Hey Cardinals, check your HISD email on Sunday for your schedule! PowerSchools is also scheduled to go live on Sunday. Everyone will head to 2nd period when they arrive on campus Monday! We can't wait to see you! #CardinalProud

I want to express my appreciation to the math teachers who worked in their classrooms Bellaire High School this Saturday morning. Your dedication to our students is unsurpassed! You are my heroes! #cardinalproud #firstdayonmonday

M&M’s and Desmos. It was a very good day! Bellaire High School #apstats

I love teaching the online, College Board workshops for AP Stats. These teachers from all over the country have taught all day and were still willing to do a little stats with me for a couple of hours this evening! #apstats College Board #dedicatedteachers

Is the hatching of python eggs independent of temperature? Is there an association between antidepressant usage and drug relapse? AP Stats students are finding out! Bellaire High School #apstats

Tootsie Pop time! How many licks does it take to get to the center? We box plotted the results and described the distribution in AP Stats. Bellaire High School #apstats

Connected rates of change with Y13. I made these examples up fairly quickly because I wanted them to sketch the graphs, then asked them to choose some sensible values (the red numbers) and we calculated the rates. It turned out to be a really nice progression of questions.

I have made the move to BlueSky (@kaykubena.bsky.social). I’d love to get a starter pack together for AP Stats teachers over there. Let’s continue to learn and share with each other (like the old days.) Please join me! #APstats
