Profile
Having taught in schools for 15 years, I now concentrate on two separate subjects areas (Mathematics and ICT) for both my teaching and research. As one of the co-founders of the NRICH mathematics project, a strong interest has emerged in the educational changes which are resulting from the current modern technologies.
