About
Joan Moss is a leading researcher in mathematics education, with a particular focus on early childhood learning, the development of algebraic reasoning, and the integration of computational thinking into classroom practice. Her work bridges developmental psychology and curriculum design, exploring how young children construct mathematical ideas through hands-on, collaborative activities. A hallmark of her research is the use of video case studies to capture and analyze complex learning interactions, most notably in her widely cited 2017 paper, "Multidisciplinary Perspectives on a Video Case of Children Designing and Coding for Robotics" (11 citations). This study exemplifies her commitment to interdisciplinary approaches, demonstrating how robotics and coding can serve as powerful contexts for fostering spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and mathematical discourse in elementary students. Moss’s contributions have helped shape modern pedagogical frameworks that emphasize inquiry, design, and student agency. Her work continues to influence teacher education and curriculum development, making her a key figure in the movement to integrate computational and mathematical literacies from the earliest grades.
