Tom Carpenter was an influential mathematics educator who touched a multitude of lives. His work researching children’s thinking in mathematics, in partnership with Elizabeth Fennema’s research on teaching, led to the development of Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI). Tom lived the principles of CGI: (a) everyone has knowledge to contribute (children, teachers, graduate students, researchers); (b) we continue to learn if we ask questions, listen to others, and justify our thinking; (c) details matter; (d) mathematics, as well as teaching, is about problem solving and connections. Tom was an amazing person whose work changed lives.
Come celebrate Tom’s life and his work in mathematics education. Hear about his professional influence on mathematics teaching and learning, and share how Tom and/or CGI has influenced your life.
