Students will engage in empathetic research by interviewing classmates and conducting surveys to understand the diverse experiences and challenges faced in building foundational math skills, capturing insights through creative data visualization methods.

Students will synthesize their reflections and IXL data to formulate a clear problem statement addressing how foundational math skills impact their growth in Algebra 1, ensuring they integrate feedback from peers and instructors.

Students will collaboratively brainstorm and visually sketch innovative ways to display their IXL growth data, incorporating diverse and imaginative techniques to solve the essential question, and expanding their methods for effectively communicating mathematical progress and personal reflections.

Students will develop and test data visualization prototypes using their IXL data, creating graphs that effectively communicate their mathematical growth, and receive peer feedback using structured rubrics for iterative improvement.

Students will present their mathematical growth journey through a Math Growth Gallery Walk, showcasing their graphed data visuals, reflections, and answering the essential question 'What does success look like?' while engaging classmates and teachers in conversations on their learning process and outcomes.
