About

The Pi Lab is a research laboratory that supports the inquiry of mathematics teaching and learning. Launched in 2006, “Pi” was chosen as a name for the laboratory not only because it is a mathematical symbol but also because it stands for “Promoting Inquiry” which is the focus of our work – that is, promoting inquiry, or research, in mathematics education and promoting inquiry in mathematics classrooms. As such, our research focuses, on teacher expertise in mathematics teaching and learning and ultimately student understanding in mathematics.

The Pi Lab supports the collection and analysis of video data as students and teachers engage in mathematics and inquiry in mathematics teaching and learning.
