"Why are fractions so hard to understand? An overview of the developement of learnes' fraction understanding and the accompanying challenges"
"Rideo ergo sum (I laugh, therefore I am)"
The motto I live by ...
... rideo ergo sum (I laugh, therefore I am). I am known for smiling a lot and I find humor an important aspect in life.
At the University of Innsbruck I will ...
... teach two courses (methodology course and a course on learners’ fraction understanding) and I will be doing research on strategy use in fraction tasks with professor Florian Stampfer.
What surprised me about Innsbruck was ...
... how close the mountains are! I am here now for the third week and I am still amazed by the closeness of the mountains and the beautiful views.
Innsbruck for me is ...
... the perfect combination between beautiful nature and amazing culture.
