Hello my name is Delia Harrington. I am a 7th grade math teacher in Roxbury, MA at the Dearborn STEM Academy. The focus of my Special Interest Project (SIP) was to research about why as students get older do so many begin to hate math and what role can technology play in fixing that. I narrowed down my research in to three main categories:

• Lack of a growth-mindset many students have in math.
• Lack of interest in due to math becoming more abstract in higher grades.
• Students believing math is reliant on memory not problem solving or critical thinking.

Please explore my website to find more information and resources to address the “I am not a math person” mentality!
