The School of Education’s Mathematics Education program held its annual research showcase on Dec. 6, 2022, in Syracuse University’s Bird Library. Faculty and graduate students presented posters describing their current research, including the use of clinical simulations, “algebra for all,” case studies of Kenyan prospective secondary teachers, math and social justice, mathematics learner identity, learner theory, and more.

Undergraduate mathematics education students were among those who viewed the posters. They discussed research projects with faculty and graduate students and filled out a poster session “bingo card” that encouraged them to ask such questions as, “Is your study qualitative, quantitative, or both?” and “How has your research question changed during this study?”
