These posts reflect the topics that are being searched for in the Middle School Portal site. We start each post with a rationale for the topic, typically connecting the topic to the national math or science standards. Each resource is hot-linked and accompanied by a brief description by which you can quickly judge whether it's a resource that is likely to be useful to you in your teaching. http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/connectingnews/ http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/connectingnews/feed/ http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/connectingnews/ Tue, 26 Aug 2008 13:48:32 +0000 K-12 TeachersLibrariansNSDL Community The NSDL Middle School Portal is hosting this blog to encourage teachers to use current events as teaching opportunities. Every Thursday, MSP staff will link a current news article to related teaching resources that connect specific content standards to that event. Articles may be appropriate for students to read directly, or they may serve as background knowledge for teachers and inspiration for subsequent instructional activities. The related middle level, grades 5-8 content standards of the National Science Education Standards are included as well as ideas for turning the news event into an inquiry-based lesson. http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/2007fall-nsta-sems/ http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/2007fall-nsta-sems/feed/ http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/2007fall-nsta-sems/ Fri, 23 May 2008 09:46:36 +0000 K-12 Teachers This blog accompanies the 2007-2008 NSDL/NSTA Web Seminar Series showcasing our presenters as they share their experiences in pursuing careers in science and science education.

I'm Terese (Terry) Herrera, a math teacher of grades 6-10 for many years, and now a creator of online units for the NSDL Middle School Portal found at http://msteacher.org. Teachers have a lot to share with one another, so it seems efficient to provide a space for you to talk about your successes, great or small, in teaching math. Our students find measurement a challenge in all its forms--from using a ruler to finding volume to solving distance problems. So we're setting out measurement as a first topic. We'll recommend full-scale projects you can use in your classroom, but also simple problems that can start your students thinking. We hope you'll do the same--recommend lesson ideas that have worked for you.
