Welcome to Mathematics Education at VT.
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.
