After collecting the data here's some of the summary:
Our Learning
Our first steps in our action research from our original focus was to survey the students in our math classes, asking questions like:
Do you feel like you can succeed in this math class?
Why or why not? Please explain why (in 2-3 complete sentences written in academic language).
How confident do you feel about understanding the math class you had today?
Many teachers talk about "visualizing" numbers, "visualizing" fractions, and "visualizing" math in general. Do you think this concept has helped you gain any confidence or any problem solving skills? Yes or No? Please explain why in 2-3 sentences written in academic language.
