Geetha B. Ramani is a professor at the University of Maryland, College Park. She runs the Early Childhood Interaction Lab, where she studies how young children learn math and solve problems through play and everyday activities. Dr. Ramani looks at how things like classroom games, time with parents, and home life help kids grow in math.She also studies how skills like memory, self-control, and language affect how children learn math, especially for kids from different backgrounds. Her research shows that playing and learning together with adults and friends is important for children, both at home and at school. Dr. Ramani’s work helps us understand how playful learning can help kids do well in school later on.
