This project is a second-round development iteration of the MathFlowLens Dashboard, a data visualization tool for teachers that helps them identify their students’ strategic thinking and problem solving pathways. Development is guided by a co-design process where teachers were consulted multiple times to provide feedback and usability data that are analyzed and turned into features that meet those needs. Focus groups with middle school mathematics teachers gave insight into the round-one prototype of the dashboard, the data from which was used to synthesize needs into features that address them. This project’s development saw the inclusion of a new data visualization component that allows teachers to see each individual student’s journey through a problem – as well as several other modifications and accessibility features. As an iterative product, future work should include additional focus groups with teachers and studies to evaluate the effectiveness of the tool.
