Our study focused on the challenges of student attitudes towards math has on their performance in the mathematics classroom. We sought out to see the impact of reflective opportunities on how students feel about the mathematics they are learning as well as how they view themselves as mathematicians. We also incorporated Project Based Learning to allow students to collect and analyze their own data, interview professionals, and present their findings. Our results highlight the need for educators to use methods which allow students to reflect, and to be provided with a variety of learning methods in the math class setting. Our findings further suggest that utilizing these teaching practices may reduce anxiety, and students have opportunities to create memorable and valuable learning experiences.
