If collecting data with human subjects (i.e., survey, questionnaires, focus groups, or interview), describe the research population, including the age, number of participants, and the relationship of any research participants to the researcher (“relationship” includes teacher/student, supervisor/employee, professional colleagues, etc.).

I am the teacher of the student particpants in this action research study. There will be a total of 22 participants in

this action research study, which included the 22 students in my 6th grade Bilingual Math class, first block. This class

was chosen because it is a close representration to our campus’ bilingual population, academically and ethically.

This class was also chosen because the the 90 minutes of instruction is uninterrupted. There are a total of 22 students

in this 6th grade bilingual class with 11 females and 11 males. One-hundred percent of my students are Hispanic. The

majority of my students are eager to learn and participate, however, there are a few who do not participate or show

any effort. The students participating in this action research study were in the middle of their 4th grade year when the

pandemic shut down schools across the nation. Majority of my students were virtual learners for a year and half, in

which they admitted to not attending class virtually. Most of my students said that they are not good in math. With

that mindset and virtual learning, my students struggle with academic math vocabulary and solving word problems
