Anna Holmlund

Anna Holmlund is a doctoral researcher at Chalmers University of Technology's Department of Mathematical Sciences, specializing in Algebra and Geometry. She combines her academic work with practical experience as an upper secondary school teacher in mathematics and physics at NTI-gymnasiet in Gothenburg.

Research Interests: Holmlund focuses on mathematics education, particularly on how algebraic concepts are taught and experienced by students. Her work examines critical aspects of algebraic understanding, variation theory in teaching, and how numerical contexts influence problem-solving strategies.

Publications: Her recent research spans topics including didactic models for equation solving, student experiences with linear equations, and cross-algebra problem-solving frameworks. Key contributions include studies on the interplay between numbers and algebraic structures in educational settings.

Collaborations: Holmlund has co-authored works with researchers like Xiaoshan Huang and Timo Tossavainen, contributing to international conferences such as NORMA24 and the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education.

Methodology: Her licentiate thesis and subsequent papers emphasize empirical analysis, variation theory, and practical-theoretical integration in mathematics education.
