An NSF study on the effectiveness of Jo’s student online class, working with over 150 teachers across the US. Various studies on mathematics and mindset with Carol Dweck and Greg Walton. Studies on the effectiveness of math apps and games.
Mathematics teaching and learning - in particular, how different teaching approaches impact students' learning, how to teach mathematics for a “growth mindset”, and how equity is promoted in mathematics classrooms. STEM and mathematics - why women and girls choose out of science and mathematics. The role of groupwork and mathematical discussions in the development of understanding. The ways teachers may be supported in moving towards equitable and effective teaching environments. The effectiveness of mathematics taught through technology.
