West Virginia's Average vs. National Average Test Scores

Today we looked at NAPE Testing scores for West Virginia and the nation. We used a website caleed Kids Zone to compare these two average scores and make a graph. These graphs were to compare the West Virginia average score with the National average scores. On the first graph I compared 4th grade West Virginia's Math average with the 4th National math average. I also created a Google Doc to express that we need to spend more money on our math program in West Virginia. Click here to see that document. One the second graph I compared 8th grade West Virginia's Reading Average to the 8th grade National reading average. I created a Google Doc for this as well, but this time I had to defend West Virginia's average reading score. Click here to see my document.
