🚨Job Alert! I am looking for an in-person post-doc to work on my NSF ITEST grant, where we are training teachers to use GenAI to create problems personalized to middle school students' interests! The post-doc will also work on VR projects. Reach out with any questions! apply.interfolio.com/166372

The affordances and constraints of mathematics tutoring in immersive, collaborative, and dynamic virtual reality environments - Virtual Reality Unprecedented investments are being made in mathematics tutoring interventions for K-12 students, but results from these interventions are not always promising. Traditional online or distance math tut...

Our study of middle school students recieving math tutoring in Virutal Reality is out! VR allowed students to collaboratively and dynamically interact with math concepts while receiving tutoring to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Check it out, it is open access! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New article alert - Our study in Journal for Research in Mathematics Education came out yesterday, examining how STEM practitioners actually use algebra (or not) on-the-job. We give important implications for math standards and curricula: pubs.nctm.org/view/journal...

We had an in-person Advisory Board meeting this past week for our NSF AISL Grant, where our board got to test out the Mathfinder app and meet our informal learning site partners! We got lots of feedback, and are getting close to having the app availible!

Blog: Math as a Gatekeeper: Examining the Evidence | Just Equations It’s not that math learning isn’t important, it’s that its importance for professional opportunities is sometimes exaggerated. Math achievement can function more as a golden ticket to advanced opportu...
