MSPnet is an electronic learning community for the Math and Science Partnership Program. With the MSP program, the National Science Foundation implemented an important facet of the President's No Child Left Behind (NCLB) vision for K-12 education. A major research and development effort, the MSP program responds to concern over the performance of the nation's children in mathematics and science. Institutions of higher education partner with K-12 districts and others to effect deep, lasting improvement in K-12 mathematics and science education.

MSPnet Toolbox
- "Building Facility with Numbers: Grade-Level-Appropriate Expectations for Mental Computation," Ruth Parker, Mathematics Education Collaborative, 2002.
We thank Ruth Parker, who recently facilitated the last MSPnet Academy entitled, "Breaking the Cycle of Failure: From Numerical to Algebraic and Geometric Reasoning" which has been archived on the MSPnet, and available for you to view. As part of the discussion Ruth Parker shared the above resource.
