Erik Jacobson studies mathematics education, with a focus on how teachers understand and respond to students' mathematical thinking, particularly around fractions, decimals, and elementary teaching knowledge. His work also examines equity issues such as deficit views about learners, gender gaps in math performance, and adult literacy education. Some of his output extends to applied technology topics like drone-based magnetic surveying.
Publication activity was relatively steady at 6-8 papers per year through 2020, then declined to roughly 1-4 per year in recent years.
