FAU Lab Schools Teacher Research

Small group instruction has become an integral part of education and is widely used to help target certain skills based on a student’s learning needs.

By investigating the impact of optional, real-world, math activities, this study sought to uncover strategies that promote problem-solving, critical thinking, and meaningful connections to students’ lives.

A wide range of digital tools has been developed to support mathematics education, spanning multiple grade levels and content areas. Prominent examples include Prodigy, IXL, Khan Academy, Desmos, and many others.

This project aimed to foster a growth mindset among students; however, it quickly became evident that this focus was not addressing the most immediate barrier to student learning: student apathy.

There has been a long-heated debate on grading math homework on completion versus accuracy. Proponents of completion state that homework mistakes should be encouraged

The purpose of the study is to determine to what extent note taking through visual or graphic with a kinesthetic integration have on students’ self-efficacy of third grade level math concepts.

Having a deep understanding of fractions beginning in grade five is crucial for future success in mathematics, specifically algebra. Recent studies show that 42% of sixth grade students fail to understand fraction concepts.
