NAEP Results 2011

For this assignment, we were asked to visit the NCES website and compare state results in Math for the year 2011. We were to plug in the information provided to us in order to obtain 8th grade scores for all states in Mathematics. Once we downloaded the information we were asked to compare West Virginia's scores to other states and determine whether or not our state ranked higher or lower than other states, determine whether the results indicated that boys were smarter than girls, etc. I completed the t-test and information in Excel and used the Jing software to incorporate a text box with error directing viewers to see where WV ranked among the other states. You can view my finished assignment here: My Paper. I believe that this assignment relates to the NETS-T #5 standard which discusses conducting and interpreting research showing learning and growth.
