Doctoral Students present at the Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education (RUME) Conference 2025

Doctoral Candidate Youngjun Kim presented a session on Equity-Based Mathematics Teaching Practices in Pre-Service Teachers’ Lesson Plans with colleague and MSU alumnus Dr. Zareen Gul Aga.

Doctoral candidate Amy Daniel presented with counseling doctoral student Evelyn Lopez. Their poster was titled: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach to Supporting Mathematically Underprepared First-Year STEM Students. The department is very proud of the interdisciplinary work these doctoral students engaged in to support undergraduate students at Montclair.

Doctoral students Elise Lahiere, Amanda Provost, Youngjun Kim, Andre Perkoski, and Geena Taite recently presented a poster at the annual Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education (RUME) Conference. Their presentation was titled “Am I missing something?”: Learning from pre-service teachers’ routes through a mathematical modeling cycle. Their work stems from their own mathematical modeling education working group, and this particular project concerned their engagement with Dr. DiNapoli’s MATH 470 Teaching Mathematics methods class. Interestingly, their presentation was part of a virtual poster session at RUME using the platform Gather.Town, where all attendees had avatars and could virtually traverse the poster session space and interact with any presenters using video conferencing.
