Numbers 1.6 Ethnicity and Reading

I was able to export the information from the NAEP website. Here is a link to my excel worksheet:

Excel Worksheet McBride

Here is a screen shot of my use of the online tool.






The p value is less than .05 which means we must reject the null hypothesis. There is a statistically significant difference between the NAEP mean scores of Black and Hispanic students on the 4th grade reading assessment.

Learning to export information from another source enhances and improves what we used to have to do by hand. I would not say we are modifying the task in anyway, just doing it more quickly and easily. (SAMR model).

Teachers need to use this skill for their own assessments and evaluations, but students need to know how to use these tools also. (ISTE, NETS-t, IIIC, IVB).
