The main goal for the project is to investigate the learning gaps in math between students who are transitioning from high school to university. This will involve several different steps for the students, including:

- Analyzing math curriculum from high school and university levels.

- Conducting surveys and interviews with students to understand their experiences and challenges.

- Identifying specific areas of math where students struggle during the transition.

- Researching teaching methods and resources that could help bridge the learning gaps.

- Developing recommendations for high schools and universities to improve math education and support transitioning students.

By the end of the project, students should complete the following tasks:

- A comprehensive analysis of math curriculum from high school and university levels.

- Survey and interview data analysis to identify common challenges and learning gaps.

- Research findings on effective teaching methods and resources for bridging math learning gaps.

- Recommendations for high schools and universities to improve math education and support transitioning students.

Final deliverables should include:

- A detailed report outlining the research process, findings, and recommendations.

- Presentation materials for sharing the project results with relevant stakeholders.

The student will have a weekly update meeting. They will be introduced to data analysis and coding through programs like Nvivo. They will be trained in human research ethics and conduct interviews with professors and students.
