1. Building Connection through Collaborative Math Learning

By observing and sharing diverse instructional strategies, this inquiry promotes a collaborative math environment where students feel safe to share ideas, ask questions, and learn from one another. This can help students build meaningful connections with each other as they work together, discuss problem-solving strategies, and recognize that math can be a collaborative experience rather than an isolated task.

2. Developing Positive Personal Identity through Growth in Math

As students grow in confidence, they may start to build a more positive personal identity related to math. This inquiry focuses on developing a growth mindset, where students view challenges as opportunities to learn. We hope they will develop a sense of self-efficacy, pride in their learning, and a belief in their own abilities.
