Abstract
School closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic caused students to experience new and different learning environments in public schools. This chapter focuses on the experiences of mathematics students in a large suburban middle school in New Jersey from 2019 through 2023. These perspectives elucidate the state of middle school mathematics achievement in the present day. Each pandemic school year is reviewed individually throughout the chapter for the school of study, highlighting several key factors, such as the student learning environment, instructional modalities, pandemic variables impacting student education, technology utilized, student success, and the overall student school-based experience. Student achievement data highlights the impacts of student learning experiences from the pandemic years on their knowledge attainment. The chapter concludes with a summary of the key details and the needs moving forward for middle-grade mathematics general and special education following the end of the pandemic.
