Features
Examples with paired “Try “Problems – At the heart of the TPS approach are the 175 worked examples, which are mapped to parallel exercises in the Section Exercises, to offer students both practice and support. A backward/forwards navigation system ensures that students who start by trying to work exercises and only then go back to read the text content will land at the right spot and will get the guided help they need. Each Example presents a detailed response in a “student font” to model a complete and well written solution.
Over 1600 Problems for Practice – Each of the 12 chapters is organized into 2-3 sections with 4-7 Learning Targets in each. Integrated through-out the text are Check Your Understanding exercises that offer “on the spot” practice for concepts and skills just learned. Each Section ends with comprehensive Section Exercises, including short answer, Multiple Choice, and “review and recycle” problems, that ensures that key ideas learned earlier in the presentation are revisited as appropriate. Every Chapter concludes with a through Chapter Review and summary, including a review table that identifies related examples and exercises for each Learning Target, a focused set of Chapter Review Exercises, and a Chapter AP® Statistics Practice Test with M/C and FRQ questions. In addition, each chapter features a FRAPPY! (Free Response AP® Problem, Yay!) activity that prepares students for the most challenging on the AP® Exam. Four Cumulative AP® Practice Tests are interspersed at logical breaks in the text (after chapters 4, 7, 10, 12) and build in level of complexity culminating in a complete model exam to help prepare students for success on the AP® Statistics Exam.
Additional help is offered through the 350 worked Example and Exercise Videos, identified by the play button , that feature an experienced AP® Statistics walking step-by-step through each one to offer additional help and support when students need it most. The can be accessed by clicking on the link in the student e-Book or viewed at the open access Student Site.
Integrated AP® Support – Our authors know from experience that success on the AP® Exam comes from practicing every day- not just during a last minute review session. In addition to strict adherence to the language, nomenclature, formulas and style of presentation that teaches that preferred on the AP® Exam, many special features are incorporated:
Technology Corners – provide detailed instructions, with screen captures, for creating graphs and performing the most important statistical analyses on the TI-84 graphing calculator. TI-Nspire, TI-89, and HP Prime instructions are available on the Student Site and in the digital platform. In addition, a comprehensive set of Applets, available free to users, supports simulation and hands-on learning and are referenced at appropriate points in the text.
