New publication out April 2025! Honoring my PhD mentors and their work in proof and proving.
ABOUT ME
Undergraduate/ Tertiary/ Post-Secondary Mathematical Creativity
One of my major interests is on mathematical creativity at the undergraduate/graduate level. I am part of a research group, the Creativity Research Group, that looks at the teaching and learning of mathematical creativity. We finished up a National Science Foundation grant that allows us to investigate Calculus 1 teaching, including the creation and implementation of creativity-based tasks. We wanted to see how valuing creativity can have an impact on students' mathematical identities, including what teaching actions fostered creativity and their affective outcomes.
Other Research Interests
My other interests, and what I've published in, are: proof, students’ and mathematicians’ proving, logic, technology, the effect of technology on middle school students’ mathematical concept development, inquiry teaching, specifically in proof and proving, and research on undergraduate research opportunities.
