OUTREACH
INVITE MATH TO BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER
OH – thank you – CANADA!
Thank you! Canada (including Ontario, Western University, the Fields Institute, and many schools and school districts) for supporting my work in several research and outreach projects.
In appreciation:
Parent in Canada?
Get free print copy of 4 math placemats, in the form of conceptual art, & invite beauty & wonder to breakfast, lunch and dinner!
School or School District in Canada?
Get get print copies of Mathematics Every Child Needs (Volumes 1-3), along with 12 placemats, at cost.

Ideas for discussing & disrupting conceptions of mathematics education.
In this age where we feed AI the best mathematics we have to offer, shouldn’t children also deserve as much?

RESEARCH
In 2025-2028 Dr. Immaculate Namukasa and I (Western University) are co-investigators on a SSHRC PDG grant led by Dr. Janette Hughes (Ontario Tech University), on Education 2050: Futures Literacy for a Polycrisis.
For 2022-2026, I received SSHRC funding for a research project on Mathematics learning with computer programming.
In 2021-2026, we are working on a mathematics education research project, funded by SSHRC, led by Dr. Immaculate Namukasa, focusing on Kafai’s idea of computational participation in K-10 settings.
I have worked for many years, in K-10 classrooms in Ontario (and Brazil), collaborating with educators to research the design mathematics experiences that offer students a sense of mathematical wonder.
We have completed a multi-disciplinary ORF:RE project, Dr. Janette Hughes (Ontario Tech University), developing and researching education apps and support resources.
TEACHING
In October-November 2025 I am teaching Computational Modelling in Mathematics and Science Education, for Intermediate/Senior teacher candidates.
In May-June 2025 I taught Designing Aesthetic Experiences for Young Mathematicians, a specialization area for Primary/Junior teacher candidates.
