Keith Nabb is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the University of Wisconsin, River Falls. Previously, Nabb taught mathematics at Moraine Valley Community College in Palos Hills, Illinois.

Nabb's research focuses on mathematical thinking and reasoning, nonroutine problems, and mathematical knowledge for teaching. He explores the magic that occurs in mathematics classrooms and his passion for teaching and learning mathematics shines through his work.

Nabb was interviewed for this spotlight in February, 2016 at which time he was teaching and researching as a faculty member at Moraine Valley Community College. Of note is that Nabb published 16 peer reviewed mathematics education articles and completed his PhD in Mathematics Education during his tenure at Moraine Valley Community College. Nabb is a trailblazer who has worked to bring the voice of two-year college mathematics faculty to the broader mathematics education research community.
