Bio

Brin Keller is an emeritus associate professor in PRIME. Her research focuses on exploring methods for developing students’ understanding and use of symbols in advanced mathematics – in particular, examining the effects of hands-on contextualized experiments in technology-rich environments on students’ symbolic thinking and preferences for representations of functions. Her work also addresses the development and evaluation of curriculum materials for pre-calculus and calculus classrooms. Brin has most recently worked as a curriculum and software developer for the Core-Plus Mathematics project.
