About this listen
In this episode of It’s Just Research, hosts Dr Sara Black and Liam Cini O’Dwyer are joined by Dr Carla Finesilver to explore how students learn mathematics, and how the way we represent maths shapes that learning. While children often encounter maths through everyday experiences like sharing and problem-solving, classroom maths can quickly become formal and procedural. Carla discusses how this shift towards symbols and standardised methods can limit creativity and disengage many learners.
You can read more about Carla’s research in her recent paper: Beyond categories: Dynamic qualitative analysis of visuospatial representation in arithmetic
