Based on 2018-2019 data, there were 381 students enrolled in the building with 15% classified as English Language Learners and in which 41% received free and reduced lunch. My classroom consists of 23 learners and two ACP (Alternative Curriculum Program) students. The races and ethnicities of my students are as follows: 12 white, two students with two or more races, six Hispanic, two black or African American and two Asian.

This action research project centered around twenty-three students' mathematical growth in a suburban school district. Three of my students received support through Individualized Education Program plans (IEP), two with math goals identified. All students demonstrated varying ability levels; therefore, guided math work stations and differentiated groups and instruction was implemented class-wide to improve and increase student number sense and mathematical reasoning.
