Research on Mathematical Thinking and Learning
This research group focuses on students’ mathematical thinking from the primary years through high school and the practices that enhance mathematical learning. The group investigates how learners develop understanding, reasoning, and problem solving competence in a variety of instructional contexts.
In particular, researchers explore students’ mathematical learning through programming, problem solving supported by bar model heuristics, and the use of written communication as a tool for learning mathematics.
