Teaching
I teach mathematics education in preschool teacher education. I am managing the master program in mathematics education.
Research
My research is focused on mathematics teaching and learning in preschool, preschool class and primary school. Of special interest is problem solving in mathematics, digital technology in mathematics education and entrepreneurial competences. I am also interested in the professional identity development of mathematics teachers.
