We documented fraction learning trajectories for students with learning disabilities. Also, we developed and tested a curriculum for asset based fraction intervention for use in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade. Funded through an NSF CAREER award to Jessica Hunt.

The At-Home Learning Initiative helped promote remote learning access across the state of North Carolina. Specifically, the project is geared toward families who lack access to a stable internet connection. We have 192 literacy and math lessons for PreK-5 students posted on PBS and You Tube. Below is a sample lesson!
