My research focuses on children�s learning � especially of mathematics in elementary schools � and the ways in which this can be supported. I attempt to explain how students take up new concepts and contribute to the collective understanding of mathematics in the classroom. My ongoing projects include analysis of video data from first- and fifth-grade classrooms, both in the United States and in China. New students are welcome to join our research group to look at the practices and structures in these lessons that potentially influence student learning.more information...
