Research and Scholarship Interests
Throughout her career, the focus of Dr. Angotti’s research has been studying the way people learn mathematics. Specifically, she is interested in the way students utilize mathematical representations such as graphs, equations and numerical representations as tools to solve problems. She has concentrated her research on statistics education and College Algebra. Dr. Angotti studies the impact of group discourse on how students wield multiple representations of mathematical concepts and the connections that they make between these alternate representational forms.
