TMERC

The Trent Math Education Research Collaborative is a team led by Associate Professor and Researcher from Trent University, Dr. Catherine Bruce. Her team is comprised of research assistants, teachers and consultants from both Public and Catholic school boards from across Ontario, Canada.

Dr. Bruce’s work focuses on models of professional learning in math education such as: Lesson Study, Pre-service education experiences, and Collaborative Action Research. This includes explicit attention to mathematics content learning and the integration of technology to facilitate student learning in mathematics, such as the use of Interactive Whiteboards and hand-held technologies. One of the SSHRC studies underway involves using digital video with and for teachers in mathematics classrooms to support professional learning about precise mathematics content and related teaching. The TMERC site is a way for Dr. Bruce and the team to share work that they have been doing – especially findings from research activity. We hope you explore this site to learn more about TMERC and mathematics education research!

Dr. Cathy Bruce and Dr. Ruth Beatty bring you 22 lessons from patterning to algebra, available this spring through Nelson Education. Included is a DVD of videos and SmartBoard lessons created by Rich McPherson. 'Read More' for information about this amazing new resource for Grades 4 through 10, and how you can get your own copy.
