Hi Soraya
Your overview of your action research aims is good. The context is limited. It would
have been interesting to hear more about your chosen students and why you have
selected these particular students.
You mention your first strategy was using an online tool. I would be careful about
assuming that all online resources allow students to "relive learning experiences and
gain deeper understandings". I suspect that you will need to be much more critical in
your choice of various online activities
Your paper was a little disjointed and difficult to follow in some parts. You didnt
separate your sections with headings and this made it a little confusing. There were
elements of your writing that should have been in the overview yet were in the
middle of the paper. Also there was not a clear separation data collection and
analysis or strategies.
Your data collection and the tools you use are presented as a list. You have a lot
here, but you don't explain how you have analysed the data that you have gathered.
It is important that you link this data back to your questions. Also, you need to look at
the pedagogy that is underlying the strategies that you are trying to implement. Use
the literature to critically evaluate and justify the strategies that you are using.

You provide some interesting reflections however these are mostly personal.
Remember that it is really important to draw on the literature. In your case, I imagine
looking at literature on teaching mathematics and chance and probability are
important. If you are relying on online resources this will also be a place to look for
further readings.
It was good to see that through your personal reflections however you are able to
alter your lessons and aim to work at a deeper level with the students.
Your presentation and use of the website was good. There were a number
grammatical and typographical errors throughout your report which sometimes made
it difficult to follow.
It will be interesting to see your final report.
All the best
Cheers Rachel
