Profile
Julia Anghileri lectures in mathematics and mathematics education on undergraduate and postgraduate courses. She works in partnership with local schools and has extensive experience with both pre-service and in-service teachers. As a writer and editor, she has written and contributed to numerous publications in Britain and the USA. In her internationally recognised research she employs a variety of methods including classroom observation, use of video for data collection, and development of CD-rom for dissemination of research findings. As a consultant she works for the National Numeracy Strategy (NNS) and for the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) as well as a number of Local Education Agencies.
Academic Area/Links
Mathematics: algebra and geometry; mathematical logic.
Mathematics Education: children's arithmetic, effective teaching strategies in early years mathematics.
Research Topics
International research on different approaches to arithmetic teaching, focussed particularly on multiplication and division, including collaboration with colleagues in the Netherlands and USA. Also the development of effective interventions in teaching about shape in the early years of schooling.
Current Research Projects
Promoting Research In School Mathematics (PRISM) [in collaboration with Cambridge University Moving Image Studio, CUMIS] 2000 - 2002 funded by Equitable Life Educational Trust.
Effective learning with Poleidoblocs (for pupils with learning difficulties) 2001 - 2003 funded by Equitable Life Educational Trust.
Development in pupils' calculation strategies within the National Numeracy Strategy.
Course Involvement
Julia lectures and supervises on the BA, PGCE, MEd & PhD courses.
