Identity significantly influences student learning and performance, especially in math, where how students view themselves as learners can shape their success. Each student's unique experiences, background, and self-perception play a vital role in their engagement and confidence in the classroom. Educators can deepen their understanding of how to support and celebrate diverse learners, creating a warm and inclusive environment where every student feels valued. Through thoughtful practices and tools, teachers can inspire positive math identity development, empowering students to believe in their abilities, overcome challenges, and thrive in their learning journey.
