This study is located in person in Massachusetts and offers high school students with IEPs the opportunity to provide feedback on their school experience learning algebra and to talk about their approach to solving a selection of 3 problems with the researcher. Participants will engage in interactive tasks with a variety of physical materials and a calculator.

The duration of participation in this study is 90 minutes on one occasion. The opening and closing interview tasks are 10 – 15 minutes each and involve sharing personal perspective on school math and algebra. The three math-based tasks involve talking about algebra problems for 15 – 20 minutes each. Student participants under 18 years old must have parental consent.

Participants will record their voice and writing for the purpose of transcription. Their identity will be kept anonymous. Compensation includes keeping the calculator and other new school supplies used. Participants will also earn $20 gift cards for the tasks completed.
