Curriculum Vitae - updated August 2013
My research is focused in the following areas:
-
(a)Student and teacher symbol sense when interacting with mathematical statements in high school or college mathematics courses,
-
(b)Use of technology for working with symbolic expressions in mathematics,
-
(c)Students' and teachers' anticipatory and reflective practices in learning and teaching mathematics.
Recent research and grant activities include:
-
-Work with colleagues in Industrial Engineering and Mathematics on “The POET Project” - An NSF TUES grant focused on the development of web-based learning tools for engineering students to build their understanding and reasoning about mathematical models in linear programming;
-
-Work with a colleague in English Education to investigate pre-service mathematics teachers use of writing to learn mathematics. This work was supported by a Purdue research fellowship with the Discovery Learning Research Center.
-
-
-
-A university partnership with the Metropolitan School District of Washington Township in Indianapolis on two Math-Science Partnership Grants aimed at algebra readiness in middle schools.
