| 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: | Histogram
|
|---|
| Description: | This Java applet enables students to view histograms of given real-world data sets and to generate histograms that reflect data they enter into the applet. Histograms are bar graphs that show frequency information for elements of a data set. Interval width for bars and minimum and maximum frequency of data to display are adjustable parameters for the applet's histograms. The applet automatically displays the number of elements in the data set, the mean and standard deviation, and a frequency chart along with the histogram for each data set. From the applet page, What, How, and Why buttons open pages explaining the activity's purpose, function, and how the mathematics fits into the curriculum. A page also links to the NCTM data analysis and probability standard for grades 6-8. Supplemental resources include additional data sets and sample questions related to bar graphs.
