How to Use Our Materials

This is the guide for traditional classrooms. We also have guides for using our materials in flipped or online classroom formats.

Traditional Classroom

In a traditional classroom, the teacher gives direct in-class instruction and students practice in class and at home. This guide walks you through using our materials in a traditional classroom. We are using one of our lessons (AP Stats Lesson 3.2) as a model:

Lesson 3.2 Teacher Items

Handout Key: pdf, docx

Slide Deck: ppt

CED/Textbook Alignment: page

Data: xlsx

How to use the teacher items:

  1. The Handout Key provides model solutions.

  2. Teachers use the Slide Deck for direct in-class instruction.

  3. AP Stats Teachers: Add extra practice problems to the handout from your school’s textbook. The CED/Textbook Alignment page matches our lessons to relevant sections of the most widely-used AP® Stats textbooks.

  4. Use the lesson Data for further analysis or for making further activities.

Lesson 3.2 Student Items

Handout: pdf, docx

Video Reflection Q’s: form

How to use the student items

  1. Students use the Handout to take notes in class and work on practice problems.

Lesson 3.2 Video

 
 

How to use the video:

  1. The Video covers the “Guided Notes” portion of the handout and can be used by absent students, by students reviewing the lesson for exams, or by teachers who would like to visualize the lesson before giving it in class.

Important notes

Citing Our Work: Because we are providing our lesson materials free of charge, we expect the materials to be properly cited. Please print the phrase “adapted from the Skew The Script curriculum (skewthescript.org)” on any materials you use, modify, distribute, and/or share. See our license for more information.

For AP Stats Teachers: Materials from Skew The Script are not meant to be comprehensive. Skills should be honed by repeated practice from other sources. In particular, we recommend using your school’s textbook to add extra practice problems to our handouts and to add review/assessments to our units. See our guide for matching our lessons to sections of the most widely-used AP® Statistics textbooks and the AP® Statistics CED.
