Teaching and Learning Mathematics:

My program of research investigates how people learn mathematics through social interaction and instructional conversations. Within this broad area of inquiry, my research focuses on two important areas.

First, all of my studies aim to investigate the elements of a classroom culture—the practices, values, participation structures, and norms—that contribute to its effectiveness. Second, my studies (and my instructional designs) are constructed to help the field better understand how external representations—such as graphs, diagrams, and maps—spark, support, and anchor productive learning conversations.
