Abstract
This document is an action research project that studies a teacher’s growth during one year. The purpose of this document was to examine the use of citizenship education in the mathematics classroom to make learning mathematics relevant to students. The goal was to look at my current teaching practices and improve them to guarantee my students were having relevancy in the classroom. Two specific questions were analyzed through numerous data sources including lesson plans, personal journals, and university feedback. Looking at these data and understanding it was key to improve my teaching and answer my research questions: Why should I include citizenship education in my lessons? And how can I include citizenship education in the mathematics classroom to make it more relevant?
