Hello! I am a maths education researcher. I completed my PhD at Loughborough University [2016-2020] in which I explored individual and classroom level factors (i.e. teacher knowledge and arithmetic practice in textbooks) influencing children’s understanding of mathematical equivalence. Then, I received a 12-month ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at Loughborough University to explore features of equivalence and word problems (e.g. position of the unknown, accompanying illustration) playing a role in problem difficulty. During this time, I also worked in two longitudinal projects focusing on the role of executive functions or domain specific and domain general skills on mathematical achievement. Currently, I am working with Prof David Geary in MU Math Study funded by the National Institutes of Health to EXPLORE knowledge and skills that support readiness for math learning at school entry and factors that contribute to the acquisition of this knowledge.
