Dr. Ipina is best known for her work in Math Education. Her early participation in the national debate Calculus, especially as it involves writing and appropriate uses of technology, evolved into an interest in graphical representation. She and Gilda Palis used APOS models on classroom research and curriculum design.
The last five years she has focussed almost exclusively on the middle level teacher. She is one of the co-PIs on the NSF grant that launched UW's Master Program, and Endorsement Program for in-service middle level teachers.
