(NAEP) National Assessment of Educational Progress

In this assignment were asked to look at the (NAEP) National Assessment of Educational Progress data and compare other states to West Viriginia to see where we were, and if we were on average on below average. Here this is were the data can be found and what can be measured. Once I put in my Gender, Math, and year, I put the data into a excel document. I noticed that their were 5 states below WV. It seemed that we were below average. After taking the average on the states below 260.46. The overall average of students was 282.5.
The next step to the assignment asked to look and see if the boys were smarter than the girls. By looking at the data, I found there was not a significant amount from the results.

By looking at the results and dealing with the activity , I believe this assignment reflects Standard 1 and 5.

Research Action Report

Research Report was hard at times until I read other post on the discussion board and by reading others post, I finally figured out what I was doing. At times, it seems that all the assignments are running together and I'm making the assignment harder than I need to. I sometimes overlook and over think things through.
I took the data and made 2 tables which explains by 2 questions that I chose for my report. The discussion post and average age for teaching and non- teaching students was the main focus of my report. After looking at the results from the data, my questions were answered.
