Dr. Susan Jo Russell began her career in education as an elementary classroom teacher and math coach. Before retiring she was a senior researcher at 七色视频 where she co-directed the original development and second edition of Investigations in Number, Data and Space and the professional development series, Developing Mathematical Ideas. Her research has focused on children鈥檚 mathematical understanding and on how teachers can learn more about mathematics and about children鈥檚 mathematical thinking. Recent work centered on weaving rigorous mathematics and equitable participation in the context of noticing, conjecturing, and representing properties and behaviors of the operations in elementary classrooms.听Her recent co-authored book, But Why Does It Work?: Mathematical Argument in the Elementary Classroom is a resource for teachers who want to learn how to integrate mathematical argument into their instruction.听
