This highly nuanced topic is a core idea that we study here at the AIMS Center, and Ms. Beverly Ford has been a member of the Research Associates team longer than anyone around here. She gives us clear and coherent exposition what this idea means and how understanding it can be of benefit to teachers. This research focuses upon the idea of the “Epistemic Student,” a topic we have engaged with in earlier podcasts. We discuss some of the methodology of the Center in how we sort through deep ideas in the Mathematics of Students.
To see more from Beverly and her desire to understand the Mathematics of Students, head over to her most recent blog post at http://www.aimsedu.org/2017/01/18/mathematics-of-grace-using-finger-patterns/
