Andee Rubin, Consultant (TERC)

Andee Rubin has worked extensively for over 25 years in the fields of mathematics and language arts education, focusing on the role of technology in both areas, on the evolution of students' mathematical concepts and on professional development in mathematics and technology for elementary teachers. She designed several pioneering pieces of educational software, including QUILL (writing environments for elementary school), ELASTIC (statistics software for high school) and CamMotion (digitized video tools for teaching advanced mathematical concepts.) Andee also was a major author of the NSF-funded K–5 mathematics curriculum Investigations in Number, Data, and Space, focusing in particular on data analysis concepts. She most recently directed a project that is investigating educational computer games that teach math and that are appealing to girls. She is currently developing a course for an on-line masters' degree program in science education at Lesley College. Andee is also the Math Content Director for ZOOM, the award-winning public television show by and for kids. She received her B.S. in mathematics from Brandeis University and her S.M. and E.E. from MIT in computer science and artificial intelligence.
