00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:04.459 A:middle L:90%
Yeah. So, can you talk to us a

2
00:00:04.459 --> 00:00:06.870 A:middle L:90%
little bit about research here at Virginia Tech? The

3
00:00:06.870 --> 00:00:11.359 A:middle L:90%
mathematics education community at Virginia Tech focuses mainly um, let me see.

4
00:00:12.740 --> 00:00:16.850 A:middle L:90%
Mhm. I want to think of an example.

5
00:00:16.850 --> 00:00:21.750 A:middle L:90%
Okay. All right, Yes. The mathematics education

6
00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:25.199 A:middle L:90%
research community at Virginia Tech focus is centrally on students

7
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:28.969 A:middle L:90%
mathematical thinking. Uh for example, Megan Wawro research

8
00:00:28.969 --> 00:00:32.590 A:middle L:90%
in the Mathematics department focuses on trying to understand how

9
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:37.359 A:middle L:90%
students and classrooms develop mathematical knowledge around linear algebra.

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.179 A:middle L:90%
Or Jay Wilkins research focus in the School of

11
00:00:40.179 --> 00:00:46.280 A:middle L:90%
Education focuses on students quantitative reasoning in elementary and middle

12
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:51.149 A:middle L:90%
school. There needs to be a closing there.

13
00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:57.750 A:middle L:90%
Well, we already did it. Probably. Um Maybe

14
00:00:57.750 --> 00:00:59.399 A:middle L:90%
I should just say the same can be said

15
00:00:59.409 --> 00:01:02.439 A:middle L:90%
similarly for our graduate students, something like that,

16
00:01:02.450 --> 00:01:03.650 A:middle L:90%
because it's going to transition to the two graduate students.

17
00:01:06.739 --> 00:01:08.700 A:middle L:90%
The mathematics education community at Virginia Tech focus is

18
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:11.519 A:middle L:90%
centrally on students mathematical thinking and learning. We

19
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.939 A:middle L:90%
have faculty in the Math department like Megan Wawro,

20
00:01:14.950 --> 00:01:17.700 A:middle L:90%
who focuses on students mathematical development, both at the

21
00:01:17.709 --> 00:01:22.049 A:middle L:90%
individual and the classroom level uh in linear algebra.

22
00:01:22.060 --> 00:01:23.750 A:middle L:90%
And we have faculty like Jay Wilkins in the

23
00:01:23.750 --> 00:01:26.659 A:middle L:90%
School of Education who focuses centrally on students quantitative reasoning

24
00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:29.769 A:middle L:90%
in elementary and middle school. And the same can

25
00:01:29.769 --> 00:01:32.400 A:middle L:90%
be said for a PhD students at Virginia Tech.

26
00:01:32.409 --> 00:01:34.730 A:middle L:90%
They have divergent interests, but they centrally focus on

27
00:01:34.730 --> 00:01:38.049 A:middle L:90%
students mathematical thinking and learning. Okay.
