Fields of Research

  • Mathematics education in early childhood, primary and secondary schools
  • Initial teacher education
  • Classroom interaction and classroom social practices
  • Curriculum design and development in maths
  • Distributed learning involving representations and tools
  • The classroom experiences of Years 7 to 10 students (11 to 14 year olds)

Researcher Summary

My research interests are in mathematics education and initial/pre-service teacher education. In maths education I explore classroom experiences of students, particularly in the years 7-10 (11 to 14 year olds). My theoretical perspective is that classroom activity is distributed over three domains: classroom social norms, mathematical tools including representations, and social interaction. Recently I have co-researched with early childhood and Year 1 teachers in a Ministry of Education project exploring connecting mathematical practices across early childhood and the first years of primary school. I also write in the area of maths curriculum, reconceptualising content in terms of mathematical practices. A recent focus has been on curriculum and progression of learning in the early years, and at years 7-10.
In initial teacher education, I am a co-researcher in a long term project investigating the planning practices of pre-service teachers, during course work and during practicum. A particular focus is using approximations and decompositions of teaching practices in mathematics education.  I also work with teachers in early years, primary and secondary classrooms up to Year 10.
