1.Current Research

My recent research focused on students' development of algebra and calculus ideas in grades 3-16 and in the nature of multiplicative reasoning and its role in learning sophisticated mathematical ideas. My present research is on teaching and learning statistical and probabilistic reasoning. These research foci--ideas of algebra, multiplicative reasoning, and statistical and probabilistic reasoning--are highly related. However, it takes awhile to explain it.
