Students are always asked to learn materials during the school day, and complete the work that they just learned in school with an expert level of comprehension. This way of learning may work for some, but students who don’t have the support that they need at home, often lag behind in their skills, especially in math. My research shows that the students are engaged in their learning, and are much more capable of completing their work successfully with support present. I believe that my research is important because the regular format of teaching relies on the parents’ knowledge of a topic to help during the evening. This method lets the teacher be much more involved in the practice, thus taking away from the stress of parents. The flipped classroom is a win win win for both parents, students, and teachers! A flipped classroom is where the students view videos, or other learning devices before coming to the classroom. Their “homework” is to learn the new materials, and their “classwork” is to engage in rich learning activities within the classroom. My goals within this research were to engage students in learning, and to improve comprehension of the materials. Through this research I found that comprehension was better, but engagement and enjoyment were inconclusive, possibly due to the COVID-19 pandemic halting in-class learning.
