My Desmos Activities

Desmos Activities for my Integrated 3 Course (numbering of sections is based off of CPM):

Desmos Activities for my AP Statistics Course
  • Sampling Distributions of Means & Inference about Means This 2 day lesson starts with a review of sampling distributions for means and leads into inferences about means, including an investigation of the Student t-distribution.
  • Comparing Means Hypothesis tests and confidence intervals about means and difference of means.
  • Chi-Square, part 1 Chi-square tests: goodness-of-fit and homogeneity.
  • Chi-squares, the sequel Starts with a review of homogeneity, then introduces independence. Finishes by asking students to distinguish between the 3 chi-square tests.


Hope you enjoy! As I write new ones I'll add to this list. If you notice any mistakes or ways to make these better, let me know.

Starting the Quadratics Unit After Break

I'm a couple days away from Winter Break! I'm really looking forward to having time off and to have time to plan cool lessons that I can take my time to think about and not have the pressure of planning 2 one-hour lessons every day. I'm going to teach a quadratics unit when we get back in Integrated Math 2, which I'm excited about. I'm not a huge fan of how the book introduces it (I find it really cheesy-- you have to make a brochure for parabola customers... huh?) I'm thinking of starting off with a strategy I got from my best friend/roommate, who's actually a government teacher. The idea is you give your students a table with a box for letters A-B, C-D, etc. Then you give them a topic and have them think of any words related to that topic. I'm thinking of giving my students the prompt "words to describe a graph" and hoping they think of words like increasing, decreasing, domain, etc. Then, I want to play a game of "graph scattegories...

Who's The Daddy?

Today, students solved the most ridiculous problem I've ever written. We've been working on writing exponential functions given 2 points and an asymptote the past couple of days in IM3. I wanted students to understand how useful models can be (they give us an equation we can plug values into). When students came in today, I gave them each a "case file" from "my lawyer friend" who wants their help in a case. Inside there were the following: a letter 2 plane tickets a patient lab chart a fake Wikipedia article Students then worked on solving for an exponential equation to model Amanda's HCG level using the information on the patient chart to create this, along with the info from Wikipedia to know that the asymptote is k=5. They can then use the exponential to work backwards and solve for the date of implantation (Feb 11), subtract 8 days to get the date of conception (Feb 3), and then subtract a couple more days to get the day of ...

Daily Reflection

Students came back to school on Wednesday, which was also the first day of the 2nd semester. I opened by asking them if they normally write resolutions in the new year, and to write an academic and a personal goal for themselves for 2018. Then I talked about my own resolutions, and I began by admitting something to them.  I hate binder checks. I hate them so much that even though I said I was going to do them periodically last semester, I just... didn't. And, the longer I waited to do a binder check, the more overwhelming it became. Not doing regular binder checks became a source of embarrassment, but not enough to overcome my laziness. They are a PAIN, and they don't even seem to work. When I actually did them last year, they took me hours upon hours, and most of the classwork looked copied at the last minute anyways. So, over this winter break, I finally admitted to myself that I'm not going to do another binder check, ever.  Here's my new policy for ch...
