The Mathematics Education program at Virginia Tech unites faculty and students from both the Mathematics Department and School of Education. The diversity of our backgrounds and interests contributes to a dynamic mathematics education program.

Faculty research interests include:

• Instructional use of curriculum
• Students' mathematical learning & conjecturing
• Students' knowledge of functions
• Equity issues in mathematics education
• Quantitative literacy
• Teaching of probability and statistics
• Professional development of teachers

Graduate students in Mathematics Education may earn a M. A. Ed. or Ph. D., awarded by the School of Education, or they may earn a M. A. or Ph. D. through the Mathematics Department.

With a focus on both mathematics and pedagogical content, our program prepares its graduates to be leaders in mathematics education, as teachers and researchers.
