Department Seminar Speaker – Ted Paoletti – “Considering and Studying Students’ Mathematics: A Journey from TCNJ to a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education”

The Department of Mathematics & Statistics would like to welcome:

Teo Paoletti, Montclair State University, on Tuesday, November 10th at 12:30 am in SCP 229

Title: A New Matrix Invariant

Abstract:
In this presentation, I discuss my journey from an undergraduate mathematics education major at TCNJ to my current position as a first year Assistant Professor of Mathematics Education at Montclair State University. I describe how my middle and high school mathematics teaching career spurned a a strong interest in students’ mathematical understanding, which led to my leaving teaching to study this further. I provide a brief summary of my graduate studies and present some findings from my dissertation study in which I intended to support students in developing powerful function and inverse function understandings.
