President Obama and I established a White House office to prepare our nation for future pandemics. Donald Trump eliminated it — and we've been paying the price every single day.

Thinking ahead to some AP Statistics lessons. We use penny dotplot distributions (by year). But this activity could be used at many grade levels. Find the mean, median, mode? Observe the distribution. What do you notice? Why might this be true? Need: Pennies, Cardboard, Time

Great learning activity inspired by #nmsi college readiness program. #apstats
Check this out! Our AP Stats class at MHS designed a cool experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of fake tans! Results: there was a mean difference of 1.1 (noticeable in 24 hours)! Students used a rating system to formulate their solution! #wearemiddletown

Used @Desmos Marcellus the Giant activity w/ Algebra Intervention class. Such a rich activity! Students need less y=mx+b and more ratios!
