Sam Prough
Assistant Professor of Mathematical Sciences
Dr. Prough works with elementary teachers and families of young children to support how they engage children in mathematical activity. Their research interests include elementary teachers' use of whole classroom discussion across content areas, students' equitable participation in mathematics learning, and how families engage with informal math practices. Dr. Prough's research and teaching are guided by ways that children's strengths from experiences outside of the mathematics classroom can be leveraged to create rich learning opportunities.
