The Mathematics Classroom Connectedness Scale (MCCS) is a student survey that measures how connected and supported students feel in their math classroom. It focuses on middle-grade learners. The scale asks students about their relationships with their math teacher, the sense of community in the classroom, and whether their ideas and contributions feel valued. The MCCS can help schools and researchers understand how teacher practices relate to students’ engagement and their belief that mathematics is meaningful and relevant.
