Alexis Stevens

Alexis Stevens is an Associate Professor of Mathematics Education in the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at James Madison University (JMU), where she has served since 2012. Her research focuses on fraction content knowledge development in PreK-8 prospective teachers, guided by fraction schemes and operations frameworks (Steffe & Olive, 2010). Her work integrates scholarship and teaching, as she primarily teaches mathematics content courses for future educators.

• Education:
  • PhD in Curriculum & Instruction (Mathematics Education), Virginia Tech (2012)
  • MS in Mathematics, Virginia Tech (2007)
  • BA in Mathematics, Messiah College (2005)

Her publications emphasize instructional strategies to enhance teachers’ fraction understanding and the cognitive processes involved in fraction learning. She collaborates on projects analyzing preservice teachers’ evolving fraction knowledge constructs. No awards are explicitly listed, though her contributions to mathematics education are evident through her research output. Teaching and advising activities are central to her role, with a focus on preparing effective PreK-8 mathematics educators.
