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

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.
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. @BellaireHigh #apstats
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! @BellaireHigh #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 @CollegeBoard #dedicatedteachers
I want to express my appreciation to the math teachers who worked in their classrooms @BellaireHigh this Saturday morning. Your dedication to our students is unsurpassed! You are my heroes! #cardinalproud #firstdayonmonday

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
First official math department meeting of the year! I work with the best math teachers who support our students AND each other! @BellaireHigh #cardinalproud
We’re baaaaaack! Second day at NRG and Bellaire faculty is ready to learn! @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD #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. @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD #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. @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD #cardinalproud
Session 2: Coaching and Feedback…Denzel Washington. No other description necessary! @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD #cardinalproud
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 @BellaireHigh. We are ready! #cardinalproud @HoustonISD
I presented job-a-like PD in @HoustonISD 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? @BellaireHigh @chopra_reena @WallaceMathBHS #apprecal
1st day of professional development for math teachers at Bellaire! Lots of “deep diving” going on at our @HoustonISD district training! @BellaireHigh #mathdepartment #firstpdday

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:
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. @RiceUniversity @RiceCCR #apstats
Look who did their normal model homework! Hardworking, future AP Stats teachers, that’s who. @RiceUniversity @RiceCCR #apstats #lastAPSIofsummer
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 @RiceUniversity! These Stats teachers are amazing! @RiceCCR #apstats
