featured pre-defined inquiry questions and design problems,pre-planned investigations, did not ask for model generation, and did not call for mathematizingbeyond very simple linear measurement. Though Practice 8 was demonstrated in Classroom B,there was little opportunity for it in Classroom A, so it was not included in the analysis.This review informed the decision to focus on practices 4, 6, and 7, which involve working withdata, explaining phenomena, designing solutions, and engaging in argument from evidence. Toanalyze the student data for these three practices, we broke them down into sub-practicesaccording to NGSS Appendix F [1] for grade band 3 to 5 (see Table 1).For each classroom, we coded for sub-practices first with the richer data

programming problem which we call thesubproblem. The solution to the subproblem is the column which enters into thebasis replacing a column. A column generation approach updates a small set B of columns which wecall as basis. In each iteration, the sub-problem identifies a column of the optimalreduced cost from the huge pool A of the columns of the master problem. Thereduced cost of a column is a measure of the column’s contribution to improvingthe objective value of the master problem. The rule of updating the basis withthe column of the best reduced cost is referred to as Dantzig’s Rule. Since thereduced cost is a linear objective function in a column generation framework, Steepest Edge Rule for Column Generation

Table 2 describes the requirements to earn aparticular base letter grade (A, B, C, etc.). All requirements for a grade had to be met in order toearn that grade. A course grade of “F” was earned if the requirements for a “D” were not met.

further studies in STEM?Eighty-three percent (84%) of the parents whose daughters returned for the summer of 2017reported that their daughters’ grades in mathematics and science had improved since attendingthe FEMME program in 2016. A few of the comments include; • My child's grade in science improved after attending NJIT last summer. She went from a B student to an A+ student. • She had B's last year and now she has all A's • She was placed a grade ahead in 7th grade math even though she is a 6th grader. Her grades did go down first term but are going back up.Seventy-four percent (74%) of the parents reported that their daughters’ attitude towards theirmathematics and science classes improved since attending the FEMME program in 2016.
