Students scoring below 50% on practice tests should consider afternoon tutoring. Students scoring between 50% and 70% should consider several Saturday reviews. Transcript Analysis Junior transcripts were reviewed to verify that students were on the correct path for success on the graduation tests. Areas of concern: 1. If a student has no credits in Math I or Math II, they will need to sign up for tutoring. 2. If a student has low EOCT scores in Math I and/or Math II, they should sign up for math tutoring. 3. If a student has low EOCT scores in English classes, tutoring is needed. 4. Students need exposure to both biology and physical science in order to be successful on exam. Tutoring: Tuesdays and Thursdays Bus Transportation Provided Session 1: (10/12/10 – 11/18/10) English and Math sessions Registration DUE by October 1st Session 2: (11/30/10-1/27/11) English, Math, Science , and Social Studies Session 3: (2/1/11-3/17/11) English, Math, Science, and Social Studies Tutoring continued… Saturday sessions will be offered – 8:30-11:30 No Transportation provided Saturdays: Jan 15 Feb 5 March 5 March 19 Jan 29 Feb 19 March 12 Registration forms will be on the One & Done blog!

When you are finished with the test and it has been scored, be sure to review your missed problems and the suggested correct answers Parent Guide Lesson #7 (Data Analysis) Question: How do you determine central tendency? The term "measures of central tendency" is a fancy name for mean, median and mode. Mean:Average. The sum of a set of data divided by the number of data. Do not round your answer unless directed to do so. Median:The middle value or the mean of the middle two values, when the data is arranged in numerical order. Mode:The value (number) that appears the most. It is possible to have more than one mode, and it is possible to have no mode. If there is no mode-write "no mode", do not write zero (0). Range:The difference between the greatest and least pieces of data. Examples Find the mean, median, mode, and range for the following data: 5, 15, 10, 15, 5, 10, 10, 20, 25, 15 Listing the data out in order is the easiest way to find the median. The numbers 10 and 15 both fall in the middle. Average these two numbers to get the median. 10 + 15 = 12.5 Questions????
