My biggest problem is to narrow down my focus. I want to help all of my remedial math students succeed not just one group.
My web currently looks like this -
I like reading my article on paper better than on a computer screen.
I wish I had time to write about everything....how to choose????
Here are some of the excellent articles I have had the pleasure in reading -

Great job Cynthia! It appears you have found a number of good articles and have lots of information on your mind map! Add some references to your mind map so that you can begin to weave the research in there as well. What have the articles you found done to attempt to resolve the issue? What were the future research directions? Have you looked through the reference lists of the above articles to find additional references (always a good thing to do). Have you had any luck locating a theoretical framework?
