What I write about

• Culturally and historically responsive mathematics literacy and antiracism (Fonger, 2021, 2022; Keech, Routhouska, & Fonger, 2022)
• Meaningful learning and representational fluency (Fonger, 2012, 2014, 2019b)
• Learning progressions and learning trajectories for functional thinking in algebra (Fonger, Dogan, Ellis, 2017) and early algebra (Fonger, Stephens et al., 2018; Stephens, Fonger et al., 2017)
• Computer algebra systems in school algebra and instructional supports (Davis & Fonger, 2015; Fonger, 2014; 2018; Fonger, Davis, Rohwer, 2018)
• Linking research and practice through community, collaboration, and communication (Fonger, 2019a; Fonger, Reiten, Strachota, & Ozgur, 2017; Mayer, Huntley, Fonger, Terrell, 2019)
