TEACHING

Math education MPED

In summer 2024 I am teaching Mathematics Education Through the Arts (online, Masters of Professional Education-Mathematics).

I really enjoy teaching and learning in these courses!


RESEARCH

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.

In 2022, I received SSHRC funding for a 3-year mathematics learning + computer programming project.

In 2021, we started a new 5-year mathematics education research project, funded by SSHRC, led by Dr. Immaculate Namukasa, focusing on Kafai’s idea of computational participation in K-10 settings.

EduAppps

We have recently completed a multi-disciplinary ORF:RE project, developing and researching education apps and support resources.
