Jenny's research examines the mechanisms and the cognitive processes involved in mathematical development. The first line of her work focuses on the effects of perceptual and contextual features in the environment on learning mathematics. The second line of her work investigates the influences of language and executive function skills on mathematical thinking and development. Through her research, she aims to contribute to the efforts in delineating the developmental pathways to mathematical thinking, and inform practices to better support learning and development.
