He currently teaches mathematics education courses to prospective and practicing middle and high school mathematics teachers. His research focuses on preservice teachers\u2019 mathematics knowledge for teaching and the impacts of technology on that knowledge. Other areas of professional interest include supporting teachers\u2019 uses of technology in their classrooms, the use of concept maps as a formative assessment tool, preservice teachers\u2019 understanding of trigonometry and proportional reasoning, and the reading of geometric diagrams in mathematics texts.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Brakoniecki\u2019s teaching primarily focuses on content courses for teachers (both secondary and elementary). These courses focus on the big ideas of content domains, exploring the content in deep, connected ways, along with implications of manipulatives, technology, standards, and curriculum in the teaching and learning of this content. Additionally, these courses investigate the ways in which different curricular approaches support the mathematical development of diverse learners.<\/p>\n<p>Pronouns: he\/him<\/p>\n<h4>Research<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"news_list category_4\"><li class=\"post_87\">\n<h4 class=\"news_post_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/2023\/07\/01\/preparing-mathematics-teachers-to-teach-for-justice-and-joy-in-high-needs-schools\/\">Preparing Mathematics Teachers to Teach for Justice and Joy in High-Needs Schools<\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"excerpt\">PI: Aaron Brakoniecki\r\nCo-PI: Gregory Benoit, Debra Borkovitz, Eric Cordero-Siy, Alejandra Salinas\r\nNational Science Foundation Award # 2243465\r\n\r\nThis project aims to serve the national need for preparing... <a class=\"more\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/2023\/07\/01\/preparing-mathematics-teachers-to-teach-for-justice-and-joy-in-high-needs-schools\/\">[ More ]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n<li class=\"post_89\">\n<h4 class=\"news_post_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/2018\/07\/01\/grant-preparing-mathematics-teachers-to-enact-engaging-discourse-based-teaching-strategies\/\">Preparing Mathematics Teachers to Enact Engaging Discourse-based Teaching Strategies<\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"excerpt\">PI: Alejandra Salinas\r\nCo-PI: Aaron Brakoniecki, Steven Rosenberg\r\nNational Science Foundation Award # 1758218\r\n\r\nThis Track 1 Noyce project seeks to address the national need for more highly... <a class=\"more\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/2018\/07\/01\/grant-preparing-mathematics-teachers-to-enact-engaging-discourse-based-teaching-strategies\/\">[ More ]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"author":10916,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/44"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10916"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/44\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":126,"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/44\/revisions\/126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/matheducation\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
