Dr. Fiene Bredow
Mathematics Education for Secondary Level
Research areas,
- mathematical argumentation and proof,
- role of the teacher in mathematical argumentations,
- the process-product duality of algebraic expressions,
- empirical classroom research.
Dr. Fiene Bredow works as a Post-Doc at the University of Bremen. Her research interests are the role of the teacher and teachers’ practices in mathematical argumentation processes. She is also interested in the use of algebraic expressions by students.
