My love and passion about mathematics made me enrolled at Wesley College of Education, Kumasi to be trained as a mathematics educator. After three years of post-College teaching experiences, I furthered my education at the University of Cape Coast where I obtained both first and second degrees in Mathematics education. My research interests are the use of manipulatives in mathematics education, formative assessment practices in mathematics classroom, mathematics teachers’ content knowledge and pedagogical practices and error analysis in mathematics.
