| Collection Description: | The NSDL Middle School Portal identifies digital resources that support reform-based middle school math and science teaching and learning. Its Mathematics Pathway and Science Pathway present standards-based publications that take an in-depth look at teachable concepts in math and science. All resources are examined with the following criteria in mind: content of the resource is accurate; it promotes student learning; it aligns with one or more national math and/or science education standards; it is grade-level appropriate; it promotes equity and access; and the resource is easily navigable. A blog called Connecting News to National Science Education Standards encourages science teachers to integrate current events into their instruction. Users can also search or browse by subject lists and register to be notified when new content is posted to the site. |

| Resource Title: | Word problems for kids
|
|---|
| Description: | This Internet site, established with support from Canada SchoolNet and Industry Canada, contains word problems for students and teachers grades 5 to 12. The problems, selected with the goal of improving problem solving skills rather than preparing students for competitions, are classified into grade levels. Each problem contains a link to helpful hints as well as the solution. Students are encouraged to carefully think about how they would solve a problem and to make sure that they understand all parts of the solution after they are finished with it. As an example of the site's contents, for grade 8 there are 51 problems including questions about comparing payment plans for buying a car, figuring dating combinations for four boys and four girls, calculating the volume of a stack of papers, and using weather data found on a graph. The complete solutions to problems are available to teachers upon request by e-mail. Abstracted 08/98. (JRS). Copyright 2005 Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC). |
