The @VTLearnLab is presenting at #MCLS2026 in Italy! Thanks to the organizers of the symposium, Federica Granello @colleenganley and Maria Chiara Passolunghi, to the grad students and undergrads who supported this work, and the families who participated in VT’s “Math Buddies”!

My newest paper is out! Led by @VT_HDFS @VTLearnLab alumna @jisun_Kim57, with @GillianGrose, Tess Levinson, and @lkfazio.

I'm excited to announce #SRCD25 conference presentations led by current and former grad students in the @VTLearnLab! Isabel (PhD Candidate) is presenting a poster from a project with another collaborator in @VT_HDFS, Dr. Ben Katz! @SRCDtweets #SRCD2025

Check out the work being presented at #AERA2025 led by @VT_HDFS grad students in the @VTLearnLab! Thanks to @aerdf for funding the Our Math World project (data Maegan is presenting), with co-authors @jisun_Kim57 @TamikaMcElveen @sarahpowellphd @salg274 @davidjpurpura and others!

I’m excited to share that my newest publication is out! It has been a great collaboration working with this team of members from both @VT_HDFS and @VT_CS.

We co-created these books alongside a children's book author and illustrator, many educators, students, and researchers on the OMW team. Net proceeds from purchases on Amazon will go toward the creation of new educational books for children! amazon.com/dp/B0DH7YBJHW

The @VTLearnLab had a great time presenting our work and connecting with colleagues in D.C. at #MCLS2024 recently! Kudos to @VT_HDFS grad students Maegan and Isabel who each led posters!

Kudos to our @VTLearnLab @VT_HDFS students who led poster presentations at #CDS2024 last week! Great work Isabel, Maegan, and @jisun_Kim57!

Delighted to have a joint lab dinner with @_KChoi at #CDS2024, and with @vdiaz_psy as well! Excited to see how this group grows in the future!

Check it out! Our team co-developed these books alongside educators and students as part of the Our Math World project funded by @aerdf. The materials are being modified after feedback from the last round of piloting, and we will eventually make them all publicly available!

New pub! We found that children who had higher relational thinking skills in kindergarten had a better understanding of the equal sign by second grade than their peers with lower relational thinking skills in kindergarten. Check out the public pre-proof in the thread below:

Great to see this report out with updates from various EF+Math funded projects, including the Our Math World team I lead with @davidjpurpura @sarahpowellphd @SaraAnneSchmitt @salg274 @mayes_mandy @TamikaMcElveen! If you’re going to #AERA2023 check out our session Thurs. 4/13!

Multiple presentations today from the Our Mathematical World project! A talk on EF & Math by @TamikaMcElveen and a poster about gender differences in children’s representations of mathematicians and math identity led by @jisun_Kim57, representing the @VTLearnLab #SRCD2023 @aerdf

Check it out! Awesome project from @VT_HDFS faculty member @_KChoi and colleagues! @philartatVT @VT_LiberalArts @ISE_VT
