About Me

This is my unofficial home page, which is more informative than the official one ... but has a disclaimer to say that it is not an offical University of Melbourne document.

I am a senior lecturer in the Department of Science and Mathematics Education (DSME) at the University of Melbourne. The links from this home page reflect my interests in maths and maths education.

A research project on inverse operations. Guy's Hut, 1999.

Current Teaching I currently teach mathematics and mathematics education in the undergraduate preservice Primary and Early Childhood Education programs, and mathematics and mathematics education in the postgraduate Masters program. For more information go to my teaching page.

Current Research Interests

My current research interests include mathematics education in general, but especially including

  • Teachers' pedagogical content knowledge in mathematics
  • Preparing teachers to teach mathematics;
  • Cognition in probability and statistics;
  • How students' responses to mathematical problems reveal their level of cognitive functioning;
  • The onset of "formal" functioning in mathematics;
  • Mathematical collaboration.

For further details see my current research interests and my publications list.

Other Stuff I have been a mathematician and still retain strong interests in mathematics. Here are some links to my mathematical interests, mathematical research, and mathematical publications.
