monthly data



Paper instructions:
TWO Math QUESTION: 200 words each question
1.Your action research project was designed to collect pretest , interim (at the end of 6 weeks), and posttest data to determine whether playing soft music during study time in a math classroom increased time-on-task and math scores on teacher constructed tests. Two sections of Mr. Jones’ classes were used. Classroom A heard soft music over a 6 week time frame and Classroom B did not. In the next 6 week time frame, Classroom B heard soft music over a 6 week time frame and Classroom A did not. How might these data be used to document success toward these two outcomes: (a) Twenty percent of students will increase their time on task when music is heard during study time and (b) students, on average, will increase their math test scores by 5 points when music is heard during study time.
2.Your year-long project is designed to increase the reading level of students in third grade. You are collecting monthly data find that after 3 months reading speed is up 15% but reading comprehension has moved only 2%. Your end-of-year goal was to have a 25% increase in reading speed and a 15% increase in reading comprehension. What might you do given these results?
