Mathematics Central
Welcome! You’ve found the front door that will lead to all the online material for Mister Petto’s mathematics classes at Lakewood High School for the 2011-2012 school year.
CM = Consumer Mathematics
Stats = Statistics
APstats = Advanced Placement Statistics
CM is the abbreviation used whenever the topic is the Consumer Mathematics course.
Stats is the nickname used whenever the topic is the (regular) Statistics course.
APstats is the nickname used whenever the topic is the Advanced Placement Statistics course.
You will find more information about each of these, class rules, grading information, and much more by clicking on the various word-links near the top of this page. Feel free to explore the whole site (and the cross-connected sites.) If you have any questions or suggestions please get in touch with me, by any of the ways described on the contact page.
The Current Scoop
The most important thing most students can do to insure good performance is to make and use notes. A limited amount of handwritten notes may be used for reference during Consumer Math and Statistics tests. Talk to me if you're not sure how to construct a good set; and then be sure to keep them in your notebook, where you can find them when you need them. (And there is a standard collection of formulas and tables that may be used during all AP Statistics tests.)
If you miss class for any reason, please be sure to do the make-up work or homework listed on the CM, Stats, and APstats pages while you are out. If you do, you will not fall behind. Upcoming quizzes and tests are listed there as well.
Ongoing news, beginning with the most recent and continuing on to the most ancient, is always found on our news page. Several extra credit opportunities can be found there. I will add more in response to student interest.
