Egan Chernoff BEd, BSc, PhD
Professor and Head, Department of Curriculum Studies

Dr. Egan J Chernoff (@MatthewMaddux) is an editorial board member of Mathematical Thinking and Learning and Vector: Journal of the British Columbia Association of Mathematics Teachers and a few other journals. Egan's research utilizes logical fallacies (e.g., the fallacy of composition, the appeal to ignorance and others) and particular theories, models and frameworks from the fields of mathematics education and cognitive psychology (e.g., attribute substitution) to account for prospective elementary, middle and high school math teachers' normatively incorrect, inconsistent and sometimes inexplicable responses to a variety of probabilistic tasks. He also makes efforts to popularize mathematics education. For example, he writes a column entitled “Math Ed Matters by MatthewMaddux” for The Variable, where he tells slightly bent, untold, true stories of mathematics teaching and learning. Egan was, but is becoming less and less of, an ardent user of social media for mathematics education. His digital curation of the mathematics education information he finds via the web has led him to be known as the Yahoo (in, of course, a web directory sense) of mathematics education.
