Matt is active in mathematics education at the local, state, and national levels. He edits a column in the NCTM journal Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, contributes to Team Desmos and the GeoGebra community (both are technology-based groups), and participates in Project NExT. At the local level, Matt has obtained seed funding to launch a Montana Middle School Teachers Circle in the Missoula area, and is partnering with Missoula County Public Schools to begin a "bridge to algebra" program for incoming freshmen at Big Sky High School this summer. Matt’s research interests center around developing creative and investigative approaches to teaching mathematics, and on using technology tools and software to support the teaching of challenging concepts.
