Abstract
The purpose of the action research project was to determine Culturally Responsive teaching strategies in the classroom as well as what strategies best support students developing literacy skills in a mathematics classroom. Through a literature review, I was able to gain a better understanding of these strategies and how to use them in my classroom. I focus on the following three research questions: 1) What Culturally responsive pedagogy will help create a Culturally responsive environment in my classroom? 2) What Culturally responsive teaching strategies will I implement in my teaching to better support all students? 3) What strategies are the most effective in developing students' literacy skills in my mathematics classroom? To answer these questions, I analyzed my lesson plans, observations, and personal journals. The goal was through answering these questions was to gain a better understanding of which strategies students responded well to and which allowed them to grow in their mathematical and literacy knowledge.
