Research / Professional Interests
My main areas of interest are maths across the curriculum, developing higher order questioning through use of the environment in maths and formative assessment in maths. During the coming year I am hoping to explore how the use of video and participation in interactive e-forums might help student teachers to reflect on their own mathematical thinking.
