High school mathematics students’ engagement using pear deck

The purpose of this study was to compare Pear Deck enhanced lessons to regular lessons on student engagement in high school mathematics classes. The results revealed no significant differences in students’ engagement between the Pear Deck lessons and the regular lessons. However, students did report higher engagement scores with the Pear Deck lessons over the regular lessons for all subcategories of the lesson framework: opener, transition, work session, summary, and assessment. Teachers can incorporate Pear Deck lessons easily into their pre-existing lessons and increase their students’ engagement levels.
