Today, students collected data with pull-back cars. How far the car travels depends on how far back it is pulled. What is the relationship between those two quantities? Students collected data on several cars, then analyzed their data to determine what sort of relationship best fit their data.
In today's society, data collection and analysis is important in all facets of life. AP Statistics allows students to better understand and explain how data is collected, what constitutes good data, and how to appropriately and accurately analyze data.
In May, students will take a test, and if they do well enough, they receive college credit for their hard work in Mr. Andresen's 1st hour AP Statistics course.

On Monday the Junior and Senior students had an opportunity to attend the WI Education Fair at UW-Platteville. They were able to explore post-secondary options. Over 100 representatives from all over WI and afar displayed their college information for our students to learn more about. We also had a short session to hear about UW-Platteville and what they have to offer.
After the Education Fair we stopped at Meister Cheese for a tour of their facility. The students had a great learning experience about what Meister Cheese has to offer and how cheese is made and prepared. Not only do they offer all kinds of tasty cheese flavors, but they have many different job opportunities and are a growing company.
We thank the UW Platteville Campus and Meister Cheese for investing in our students! It was a great day!
