Brief Biography

Dr. Tracy Solomon is a Developmental Psychologist and Health Systems Research Scientist in the Community Health Systems Resource Group at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). She received a B.Sc. from Trinity College at the University of Toronto, an M.A. from the University of Toronto and a Ph.D. from the University of St. Andrews in the United Kingdom. Her doctoral work focused on young children’s understanding of external spatial representations (scale models, maps etc.). She also investigated the role of language in spatial reasoning in people with William Syndrome. She conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago, pursuing work on the early development of symbolic reasoning, spatial understanding and mathematics, and pursued further work on symbolic reasoning as a Research Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Dr. Solomon’s current work is concerned with the development of numeracy. She is working with the JUMP (Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigies) mathematics program to explore how program level research can be leveraged to further our understanding of how children learn mathematics.
