A Suggested Unit in Mathematics Based on Global Standards (NCTM) for the Developing Electronic Mathematical Skills for Middle School Students

The Current research aims to reveal “The Effectiveness of A suggested Unit in Mathematics based on 
Global Standards (NCTM) for the Developing Electronic Mathematical Skills among Middle School 
Students”. To achieve this, the researcher used the experimental approach with a quasi- experimental design 
for one group (experimental with pre-and post-measurement). The research tools were represented by both 
experimental tools (the suggested unit based on global standards (NCTM) –the teacher’s guide for teaching 
the proposed unit), and the measurement tool (The electronic statistical skills test). The research tools were 
applied before and after on the randomly select research group, consisted of (30) male and female students 
from the second year middle school student, and then the data were processed statistically.
The research results showed that there was a statistically significant difference at the significance level 
of (0.01) between the average score of the students of the experimental group in pre- and post- application 
of the Electronic Mathematical Skills test as a whole, and each skill separately, in favor of the post –
application. This confirms the effectiveness of the suggest unit in mathematics based on global standards 
(NCTM) in developing Electronic mathematical skills in the research group. 
In light of these results, this research recommends the necessity of reconsidering the content of 
preparatory stage statistics and building it in light of Global Standards (NCTM), With emphasis on 
developing Electronic Statistical skills during it, and paying attention to training preparatory stage students 
on the latest electronic statistical programs such as Excel, SPSS, and other statistical programs.The results showed that there is a statistically significant difference at the significance level (0.01) between the average grades of the group’s student experimental pre and post application to test Electronic Mathematical Skills as whole and each skill alone, for the benefit of post –application, This confirm the effectiveness of the suggest statistics unit in developing Electronic mathematical skills among the students of the research group in the second year of the middle school.
In light of these results, this research recommended reconsidering the content of the middle school statistics and its construction in light of Global Standards (NCTM), With an emphasis on developing Electronic Statistical skills during it, and interest in training preparatory school students on the latest electronic statistical programs such as Excel, SPSS,…. and other statistical programs.
