This analysis is part of a more extensive study NORC conducted to explore how students view math (math mindset), their math abilities (math identity), and their experiences studying math (instructional contexts). The data were collected through a survey of a nationally representative sample of students ages 10-17 administered in the spring of 2023. The study also surveyed the parents of students ages 10-17 on topics like those included in the student survey. This study aimed to examine the nuances in Black/African American students' experiences studying math by asking them about important factors (mindset, beliefs, and instructional contexts) that influence their performance and persistence in math and STEM.
