Children’s Learning Lab, Vanderbilt University

At the Children’s Learning Lab, I am supervised by Bethany Rittle-Johnson. I serve as the graduate student lead on an NSF project, Leveraging Numerical Patterns in a Modified Board Game. Our research examines how different hundred board layouts and gameplay variations influence learners’ numeracy development, especially place value knowledge.

My master’s thesis focuses on the impact of calculator use on learners’ understanding of the equal sign.
