Welcome to the official update log for Goldie’s AP Statistics curriculum. As I continue to enhance and expand the resources, lesson plans, and projects available, you can stay up-to-date with the latest additions right here.
With each monthly update, you’ll find detailed overviews of all the improvements and new content that will make your statistics lessons more engaging and effective.
You can get these updates a few different ways:
- If you purchased from my TPT store, go to “My Purchases” and scroll down to your product. There will be an option there to redownload the resource and it will have the updates there.
- If you purchased from my Emporium, go to the email you received with your download link. When you click on that link to redownload the product, you will get the new updates.
- You can also email me at any time (goldiesmathemporium[at]gmail.com) and ask for the individual files included in the updates. Please include your purchase method and order number and I will send them directly to you!
November 2024 Updates
11/7 – Updated Unit 9
I’m happy to announce the “revamp” of Unit 9 is completely finished! In the new unit, you will find new student-guided notes (with PowerPoint slides and new videos), new homework assignments, a new assessment with a grading rubric, and a new calculator summary sheet.
11/21 – Unit 4 Test Corrections
#12, the expected value was calculated incorrectly. The work is correct, but I must have fat-fingered the calculator keys and gotten the wrong answer. This changes the expected amount of money made, so the answer choices have been updated to include the correct answer.
#16, for the free response problem, the probability distribution doesn’t add up to 1. If your students don’t notice this, they can complete the problem and get the answer that I got in the key no problem. I did adjust the probabilities in the new version so they add up to 1, and this changed the answers slightly.
October 2024 Updates
10/1 – Updated Unit 2 Test Version 1
We found a typo in problem #5 of the new Unit 2 Test Version 1. The correct answer was not listed! I fixed the problem (the y-intercept was calculated incorrectly), and the files have been updated!

HUGE update today!! Unit 3, Collecting Data, has now been updated with new guided notes, including PowerPoint slides, videos, and homework assignments.

September 2024 Updates
9/3 – Updated Unit 2 COVID project
The table in problem #2 of Claim 1 has students comparing vaccination rate vs new cases in the population. The numbers in the new cases in the population were created by taking new cases and dividing by the population from the original data set. So for Alabama, 542/4,876,250 would be 0.0001112. I wanted students to work with whole numbers for this project, so I have the column labeled as “hundredth of a percent”, so Alabama has the value 11. Originally, I had this in the table as 11%, but the extra percent sign was misleading, so I changed all the values to eliminate that percentage.
9/10 – Updated Unit 2 HW 1 Key
The original solution for 1c, which asked if you would agree or disagree that there is an association, wasn’t accurate with the data from the table. While it would have been an okay description if students were just given the graphs (since we approximate values with the graphs), because we had the original data, the answer should be more precise. I changed the answer key to reflect this.
9/12 – New Unit 2 project added – Addition vs Multiplication Facts
A new Unit 2 project has been added! I love the COVID data project, but the data and topic is getting outdated, so I wanted to mix it up and come up with a fun activity where students can gather data in class and then perform an analysis on the class data.
9/12 – Typed Unit 2 Test Review Key
The Unit 2 Test Review Key is now editable in Word, making classroom edits easier for you.
9/19 – Updated Unit 1 Circuit
We caught this mistake last year but I guess the file wasn’t updated for this year! You might have already gotten this change, but for the problem in the box labeled “Answer: H”, which is problem #13 in the key, choices (C) and (E) had the same answer. (E) is what students should choose, so I changed the answer for (C) to be Largest: I and Smallest: III.
9/23 – Typed Unit 3 Test Review Key & Unit 3 Calculator Commands Sheet
The Unit 3 Test Review Key is now editable in Word, making classroom edits easier for you. I also added a Unit 3 Calculator Commands Sheet in the Guided Notes. While students do not have to know how to generate random numbers on their calculator for the AP exam, it is still a great skill to go over with your students. This one page summary reminds students how to do that, and talks about some of the other random number generator features on the calculator as well.
