Close this window 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.

During this lesson, they will complete the first eight rows of Pascal's Triangle, determine the total number of possible girl/boy combinations in a five child family, find patterns to help them generate the numbers in subsequent rows of Pascal's Triangle, and work collaboratively to address and analyze questions regarding the theoretical probability of other multiple child families using Pascal's Triangle. Site includes the objective, overview of the lesson, list of needed materials, extensions and connections, resources, and ideas for discussion. The lesson can be downloaded including the worksheets (in PDF). A video of the lesson and the correlated state standards can also be found by clicking on More Lessons: 6-8.
