| Collection Name: | Fun Works . . . for Careers You Never Knew Existed
|
|---|
| Collection Description: | The Fun Works, from Education Development Center, Inc., is a digital library of career exploration resources for youth ages 11-15. The Fun Works provides "real world" experiences and uses young people's current interests and passions, such as music and sports, to help them explore exciting future careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and other areas. The site was designed for youth and by youth--over 300 young people participated in the design and launch of this one-of-a-kind collection, from the initial concept through design, usability testing, and launch. The collection also serves as a resource for in-school and afterschool educators, career and guidance counselors, and parents and families. |

| Collection Name: | Middle School Portal: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2)
|
|---|
| Collection Description: | The Middle School Portal: Math and Science Pathways (MSP2) 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: | Figure this! Math challenges for families
|
|---|
| Description: | This web site offers families, teachers, and tutors 80 mathematical challenges helpful for encouraging problem solving with students in grades 6 to 8. The math challenges focus on concepts and objects found in everyday life, such as how fast your heart beats, what shape container holds the most popcorn, and how much of me shows in a mirror. Each challenge contains an initial problem with a solution hint, a complete explanation of the answer, and additional problems related to the same challenge. Resources for further investigations are suggested as well. From the Printing the Challenges link on the homepage, PDF files are available for all 80 challenges in English, the first 15 challenges in Spanish, and the family resource materials in English and Spanish.
