Anne Roche

Anne Roche is a Casual Academic and past researcher associated with the School of Education within the Faculty of Education and Arts. Her work focuses on mathematics education, particularly in areas such as teacher professional development, student learning strategies, and pedagogical content knowledge. She has extensively studied topics like fractions, decimals, task-based learning, and teacher noticing across international contexts, including Australia, China, and Germany.

Her research emphasizes the importance of contextualized tasks and challenging mathematical problems in fostering student engagement and conceptual understanding. She has contributed to projects aimed at improving teacher knowledge, such as the 'Early Numeracy Research Project' and studies on mathematics middle leaders' aspirations for classroom learning.

Roche's work also explores teacher decision-making processes, the use of visual tools like decimats for decimal place value, and strategies to build student persistence in problem-solving. Her findings have been disseminated through peer-reviewed journals such as ZDM Mathematics Education, Mathematics Education Research Journal, and The Journal of Mathematical Behavior.

While her articles highlight collaborative efforts with institutions worldwide, her academic contributions lack explicit mentions of awards or grants listed in the provided texts. Her publications span over two decades, reflecting sustained engagement with foundational and applied aspects of mathematics education.
